MoMA - Cu ochiul pe Europa
Prints, Books & Multiples. 1960 to now
A face un sit nu este un lucru simplu. Mai ales cand este vorba despre MoMA. Mai ales cand este vorba despre departamentul de carte tiparita si ilustrata. Mai ales cand este vorba despre the most comprehensive collection of modern prints and illustrated books in the world.
MoMA, Muzeul de arta moderna din NY, ascunde in imensul sau sit o multime de surprize, unele mai noi, altele mai vechi. Mai jos puteti vedea o selectie dintre cele care mi s-au parut mai interesante, majoritatea fiind dedicate artei / artistilor europeni. O multime de artisti, o sursa de inspiratie inepuizabila, informatii istorice cu bibliografii anexate, carti si afise deosebit de rare… Saptamani placute de studiu!
N.B. Unele lucrari, dupa cate am putut observa, nu mai sunt valabile on-line.
Wunderkammer. A Century of Curiosities brings together a selection of works by artists from the XIX to the XX-first century who have felt to pull of the unusual and extraordinary.
Artists representing various movements and geographical backgrounds are featured: Cubist, Dada, and Russian avant-garde artists of the 1910s and 1920s; artists associated with Minimalism, Op art, and hard-edge abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s; and contemporary artists who continue to exploit the infinite potential of simple geometries.
This exhibition examines how artists from the late XIX century to today have explored contemporary concerns by challenging, redeeming, or personalizing historical subjects. Many of the works take a narrative approach, referring to events in history, ancient mythology, the Bible or centuryes-old fables.
Kiki Smith (American, born Germany, 1954) is among the most significant artists of her generation. Known primarily as a sculptor, she has also devoted herself to printmaking, which she considers an equally vital part of her work.
In January 2001, MoMA received from The Judith Rothschild Foundation an extraordinary gift of some 1100 books and 100 related works of the Russian avant-garde.

The 1890s in Paris, forever popularized as the time of the can-can and cabaret, was a period of unparalleled printmaking activity. This exhibition of approximately 200 works, focuses on the private and public aspects of printmaking during this pivotal stage in the history of the modern print.
