One of the most treasured American artists of the last century, Alexander Calder reimagined sculpture as an experiment in space and motion. He upended centuries-old notions that sculpture should be static, grounded, and dense by making artworks that often move freely, interacting with their surroundings.
Over the course of many decades, The Museum of Modern Art provided a setting for Calder's work, and this exhibition looks at his art through the lens of his connection with MoMA. Calder's art was first exhibited here in 1930, only months after the museum first opened its doors, and his sculptures have been a mainstay of the museum's galleries and Sculpture Garden ever since.
Taken from MoMA's own collection and augmented with key loans from the Calder Foundation, this exhibition covers the full scope of Calder's work, from the earliest wire and wood figures to the monumental abstract sculptures of his later years.
Fotoclubismo explores the creative achievements of São Paulo's Foto-Cine Clube Bandeirante (FCCB), a group of amateur photographers whose ambitious and innovative works embodied the originality of postwar Brazilian culture.
Although their work was widely praised by other artists, particularly in the 1950s, this is the first major museum exhibition to present this fascinating moment in photography's history to audiences outside of Brazil.
Over 140 photographs demonstrate the group's extraordinary range, provide valuable insight into the way photographic aesthetics were framed in the mid-20th century, and invite us to reflect on the significance of amateur photography today.
How does race structure America’s cities? MoMA’s first exhibition to explore the relationship between architecture and the spaces of African American and African diaspora communities, Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America presents 10 newly commissioned works by architects, designers, and artists that explore the ways in which histories can be made visible and equity can be reached.
Art is cool. New York is cool. Checking out art in the Museum of Modern Art? Now you're cool. MoMA is an art lover's paradise, a place to soak up art in an elevated atmosphere. And if you're not yet a lover of modern and contemporary art, this museum – filled with Van Goghs, Warhols and Picassos – might turn you into one.
The museum's 2019 update has brought in new ways to explore contemporary art. MoMA provides a portal into the kinetic world of modernism and wonder in a range of different disciplines; you'll find architecture, photography, painting, sculpture, design, film and more.
MoMA was founded in 1929 by three influential women of the era – Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, Lilly P. Bliss and Mary Quinn Sullivan. Over the years the MoMA has endured fires, renovations and controversy – and emerged a true New Yorker.
Located right in Midtown Manhattan, MoMA will make an art fan out of you through the sculpture garden, iconic works of art like Vincent van Gogh's "The Starry Night", and regularly changing exhibitions.
