Throughout his directorship Rogers pursued expansion of the museum’s collections, with renewed emphasis on Native American, Pre-Columbian, and African art. He also took the museum in new collecting directions, including Judaica, contemporary craft, fashion arts, jewelry, and visual cultures, as exemplified by the acquisition of the Leonard Lauder postcard collection (numbering 120,000 items). In this period over 65,000 other acquisitions were added. They range from the colossal imperial Roman statue of Juno to classic paintings by Edgar Degas, Gustave Caillebotte, Franz Xaver Winterhalter, and Jean-Honoré Fragonard to major twentieth-century and contemporary pieces by Piet Mondrian, Roy Lichtenstein, David Hockney, Joseph Beuys, Bridget Riley, Robert Mangold, Jim Dine, Takashi Murakami, Kara Walker, Tara Donovan, Kehinde Wiley, Mona Hatoum, and Anish Kapoor.
