The Museum of Modern Art reopens its fourth-floor collection galleries with works exclusively from the 1960s.
This installation interweaves works from MoMA’s six curatorial departments in a presentation that highlights the decade’s broad-ranging experimentation and the interdisciplinary nature of its artistic production. The galleries proceed chronologically, with work across mediums installed year by year. This organizing principle departs from the classification of galleries by art-historical themes or “isms,” and instead aims to provide a variety of fresh discoveries and unexpected connections.
The product of a collaborative effort among curators from all departments, these galleries will undergo periodic reinstallations, reflecting the depth and richness of the Museum’s collection and the view that there are countless ways to explore the history of modern art.
