The East Building of the National Gallery of Art was built between 1971 and 1978. Designed by I. M. Pei, the angles of the building reflect the angles of the streets bordering it, most notably Pennsylvania Avenue. The center of the building is a large atrium with a ceiling of space-frame glass pyramids. The building is faced with lavender-pink marble from the same quarry in Tennessee as the marble in John Russell Pope's 1941 West Building, creating a harmony between the two. The East Building's collection focuses on modern and contemporary art with a changing series of special exhibitions.
