I am researching some of the unique benefits of being a Supreme Court Justice. One of the perks is the ability to borrow priceless artwork from the National Gallery of Art. Over the years, I have seen scattered reports of which paintings the Justices have displayed in their chambers, but I could not find a complete list. I realized no such list exists.
Then I figured out a crude way to search for them. The National Gallery of Art includes an "Artwork History" section for each piece of art in its collection. A search for "Extended loan for use by Justice" or "Extended loan for use by Chief Justice" brings up artwork that was loaned to members of the Supreme Court. I suspect artifacts from the Smithsonian Institution may also be loaned to the Justices, but I could not (yet) figure out a comprehensive way of searching.
Here is the list, with the Justices sorted by their date of appointment. Several pieces of art were passed between two Justices.
