Résumé:

New York's Museum of Modern Art, which dates from 1929, has helped to bring the history of modern art to vivid life through its unparalleled collection of late-nineteenth and twentieth-century painting and sculpture. A veritable who's who of modern art is represented in the Museum's collection: Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Auguste Rodin, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Constantin Brancusi, Salvador Dali, Jasper Johns, James Rosenquist, Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly, Mark Rothko, Piet Mondrian, Jackson Pollock, to name but a few. Its new building, which opened in 2004, had added dramatic and exciting spaces in which to display the works of these and other artists. This volume offers a comprehensive overview of the Museum's painting and sculpture collection, through more than three hundred color plates and texts drawn from the Museum's archives and publications. These lively, diverse, and often surprising interpretations of a work of art, sometime from the artists themselves, both enrich and expand the literature on the history of modern art. Accompanying these texts is an introduction by John Elderfield, Chief Curator of the Department of Painting and Sculpture, which offers a personal account of the collection's history and its installations." -- Book jacket
