Riassunto

This volume, published on the occasion of the seventy-fifth anniversary of The Museum of Modern Art and the opening of its new building, is a comprehensive overview of its painting and sculpture collection. The works selected for this publication reflect the richness of the collection, which is distinguished by masterworks as well as less-well-known examples of painting and sculpture.
Accompanying these images are texts drawn from the Museum's archives and publications, which span a seventy-five-year period. The anthology begins with an excerpt from the 1929 catalogue of the first Museum loan exhibition, which featured the work of Paul Cezanne, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, and Georges-Pierre Seurat, and goes on to include excerpts of texts from catalogues of major exhibitions and retrospectives of the work of such artists as Matisse, Picasso, Pollock, Louise Bourgeois, Andy Warhol, and Dieter Roth, to name a few.
Modern Painting and Sculpture: 1880 to the Present at The Museum of Modern Art offers the reader a new perspective on the Museum's collection and will be a reference tool for both scholars and the general public for the foreseeable future. The volume includes 340 color plates, a chronology of the major painting and sculpture exhibitions and the dates of acquisitions of the works shown herein, a bibliography, and an index.
