Modern Mural

At the reimagined MoMA Design Store, Soho, discover the Modern Mural, featuring LOVE NYC, 2025 by Nina Chanel Abney, an artist with work in MoMA’s collection. For this new MoMA original work, Abney employed her signature paper cut-out technique to create individual elements that she then arranged into a dynamic, site-specific composition. Cobblestones, street names, and subway lines nod to the history and energy of the surrounding Soho neighborhood. These are interspersed with references to works from the Museum’s collection: Salvador Dalí’s melting clock draped over a tree, an Andy Warhol–inspired soup can, and Marcel Duchamp’s readymade bicycle wheel, which, unlike the actual bicycle facing it, can no longer be used to ride. In filtering such New York City and modern art icons through her own distinctive visual language, Abney reimagines a set of familiar symbols.
