Neo Expressionism is an art movement of the 1970–1990 period. The gallery holds 64 works in this movement, including works by Max Beckmann, Peter Howson and Juan Sanchez.

A raw, figurative revival of the late 1970s and 1980s that rejected cool minimalism. Artists like Basquiat and Baselitz painted big, fast, and emotional, with rough surfaces and charged imagery.
