New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art holds 4 works by J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Turner pushed painting towards abstraction a century before modernism, dissolving landscapes into light and atmosphere. His canvases must be seen in person: they are large, their surfaces complex, and the experience of standing before a late Turner — light seeming to emanate from the canvas itself — has no equivalent.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the world's largest and most comprehensive art museums — over two million objects spanning 5,000 years. The Impressionist and Post-Impressionist galleries, the European Paintings collection, and the American Wing are particular highlights.
Planning your visit to New York
New York's major museums are spread across Manhattan — the Metropolitan Museum and Guggenheim are on the Upper East Side (4/5/6 subway), while MoMA is in Midtown and the Whitney is in the Meatpacking District. The Metropolitan suggests a donation rather than charging a fixed fee for New York State residents; out-of-state visitors pay the listed price. Allow a full day for the Met; the other collections are more manageable in a half-day.
