I picked the Museum of Modern Art MoMA. Located in New York. The collection is Modern and Contemporary Art. The collection contains many different forms of Art, from paintings, drawings, poetry, Media, performance art, film and photography. My mother is an artist and our home was always filled with contemporary art and it is something I have always enjoyed. I would love to take a trip with her to the museum as she is great at teaching me the artists point of view. This is not always easy for me to see from my own eye.
1. MoMA was developed by Abby Rockefeller (John Rockefeller's wife) and 2 of her business partners Lillie Bliss and Mary Sullivan. The became known as "the ladies"
2.It is said MoMA houses the the best Modern Western masterpieces in the World. It holds approximately 150,000 pieces of art, and 22,000 films.
3.Opened November 7, 1929 a few days after the Wall Street crash. It was remodeled from 2002-2004 and an additional 630,00 square feet were added to the museum. Previous to the remodel MoMA had on average 1.5 million visitors per year before the remodel and now has an average of 2.5 million yearly visitors.
Here are a few of my favorite pieces at MoMA- (all shown above)
De Chirico's Love Song
