Résumé:
The Museum of Modern Art's recent redesign embraces the changing nature of the institution and establishes it as an evolving idea, a flexible entity rather than a fixed treasure house. As the current generation of curators puts its mark on the Museum through acquisitions, exhibitions and installations, the building becomes a place where the history of art is constantly revisited, inquired into and reshaped, by its visitors as well as by its staff. The Museum of Modern Art in the 21st Century is an illustrated overview of an institution that is dedicated to accommodating the diversity of contemporary art and an increasingly complex and nuanced understanding of modern art. An essay by Museum director Glenn Lowry examines MoMA's current role in contemporary art as part of its long history of disrupting established paradigms, focusing on the building as a site where viewers actively experience art rather than passively receive it.

Résumé:
The book explores the origins and development of early 20th-century modernism in America through the lens of the major exhibitions that introduced this art to the general public. The author shows how modern artists and curators sought to relate high art to mass culture in order to make it accessible to more people, and successfully popularized modern painting and design during the interwar years.A major contribution to our understanding of the origins of modernism, this book captures the vibrant diversity that the term “modern art” meant at this time. The chapters examine exhibitions held in New York in the 1920s and 1930s, including those organized by Alfred Stieglitz, the Little Review, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art.

Résumé:
Exploring the origins and early days of the Guggenheim Museum--when it was first known as the Museum of Non-Objective Painting--this volume reveals for the first time the Guggenheim's complex architectural history, drawing on extensive correspondence between Founding Director Hilla Rebay and artist Rudolf Bauer (whose work the Guggenheim collected exhaustively) to reveal the leading role Bauer played in envisioning the collection and the museum. It also explores Rebay's unusual curatorial conceptions and framing practices at the museum's early locations. Karol Vail provides biographies of many lesser-known artists in the museum's collection, while others discuss the museum's early history and ambitions. Architectural drawings, installation views, photographs and color plates of selected artworks help track the rise of this great museum.

Résumé:
With sketches and photographs, this book illustrates the project and the different phases in the construction of Triennale Design Museum in Giovanni Muzio's Palazzo dell'Arte, Milan. Since the beginning it presented a stimulating challenge, that of providing an independent and autonomous identity to a museum housed inside the Triennale, an institution of great importance in the history of Italian design during the last fifty years. The most innovatory architectural element of Triennale Design Museum is represented by its entrance through a bridge, a feature that enables the museum to stand as an autonomous entity, being at the same time part of the Triennale.

Résumé:
This book accompanies an exhibit at gta exhibitions of ETH Zurich that focuses on artworks featuring carefully designed stages—a deliberate blurring of the border between art, architecture, and performance. Creating static, yet theatrical, tableaux in which artists can highlight the interplay between the disciplines of art and architecture, the stages at the same time represent a wide range of creative approaches to art and art making, and they also offer reflections on sources of artistic inspiration, including books and films. A lasting record of a carefully—and creatively—curated exhibition, Theater Objects will surprise and impress architects, artists, and fans of both forms.
