A richly layered etching by Howard Hodgkin, *Late Afternoon in the Museum of Modern Art* evokes the hazy, sensory atmosphere of a gallery space bathed in fading light. Hodgkin's characteristically expressive use of tone and mark-making transforms an ordinary cultural moment into an intimate, almost dreamlike encounter with color and form. Printed on warm buff Rives BFK paper, the work's earthy ground enhances the languid, contemplative mood suggested by its title.
