MoMA Now: Highlights from The Museum of Modern Art
MoMA Now presents a rich chronological overview of the art of the past 150 years, culled from The Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection of almost 200,000 objects across 6 curatorial departments. Beginning with a photograph made around 1867 and concluding with an Oscar-nominated documentary film made in 2017, the book introduces readers to some of the most beloved artworks in the museum’s collection―iconic works by Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, and Andy Warhol, among many others―as well as lesser-known but equally fascinating and significant objects of art, architecture, and design from around the world. 424 pages, 375 illustrations.
Inventing the Modern: Untold Stories of the Women Who Shaped The Museum of Modern Art
MoMA owes much of its success to a group of remarkable women who—as founders, patrons, curators, and department directors—shaped its future during its early decades. Inventing the Modern tells the stories of fourteen pioneering women, ranging from eminences such as cofounder Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, the most recognized name among them, to several women who are today virtually unknown, such as the Museum’s longtime registrar Dorothy Dudley. There were influential curators like Iris Barry, who played an outsize role in establishing the study of film as an art form, and inventive leaders like Sarah Newmeyer, who as the Museum’s first director of publicity launched enterprising campaigns to capture the public’s imagination. These women were mavericks who turned their ideas into action: envisioning and establishing the Museum, directing departments, and transforming their disciplines. 424 pages, 232 illustrations.
