Overview
Beginning in October 1999, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, launches MoMA2000, an 18-month series of exhibitions. Drawn from the museum's incomparable collection, the series includes three major exhibition cycles-and accompanying catalogues-focusing on distinct periods: 18801920, 192060, and 19602000. ModernStarts, the first cycle, comprises three sections, People, Places, and Things. People treats the great period of early modern figurative art from Rodin and Matisse to Munch; Places features landscapes and cityscapes by such artists as Atget, Czanne, de Chirico, and Lger; Things addresses the importance of object-like works, such as Duchamp's Readymades, and representations of things from Picasso's still lifes to advertising posters. Innovative juxtapositions and contexts provide a stimulating look at the beginnings of modernism. The catalogues that will accompany People, Places, and Things will be available from Abrams in October 1999.Book Details
