Skall man tro boken MoMA highlights (tredje utgåvan), som med introducerande text återger 350 olika verk i New Yorks Museum of Modern Art, så kan begreppet utsträckas åtminstone ytterligare 50 år i tiden, till ungefär när fotografiet och andra typer av massproduktion blev tillgängliga. Annars är det inte mycket att säga: det är som sagt 350 olika verk, målningar, skulpturer, fotografier, filmer, collage, arkitektoniska skapelser, industridesign (enda svenska bidraget är Wingquists kullager), typsnitt, programvara och installationer. De flesta verk får en sida, varav halva är bild och halva en beskrivning. Dessa texter är överlag goda, intresseväckande introduktioner, utan alltför mycket teoretiserande (även om det i några fall slår över). Ett litet antal verk får en ytterligare helsida för närstudie av någon detalj. I övrigt är inte mycket att säga: det finns ett antal klassiska verk presenterade som de flesta bör känna igen, majoriteten är dock som bäst igenkännliga som av en viss konstnärs hand eller representativa för en viss strömning. Läsningen går snabbt, man lär sig lite, men man sitter kanske inte efteråt och hungrar efter mer. This book highlights the most important and well-known works in the MoMA and is a great tool during a museum visit. The book also makes for a nice memento after a visit, and I have found myself using it as a reference for those situations where I feel like I've seen a work before but can't be certain. I only wish the book covered more of the museum's collection as many great works are left out. Great coverage of some of the most beautiful works in the MOMA. I saw a lot of people carrying this book with them as they toured the MOMA, which seems like a really good idea; I, on the other hand, didn't find the gift shop until after I'd finished my visit. Definitely not a tiny book - I didn't buy many souvenirs on this trip since I was there for business and didn't have a lot of time to sight-see, but I was chastised by the baggage check at LaGuardia for my suitcase being overweight (and it was on my flight TO New York)! aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In this updated, expanded, and superbly produced handbook, The Museum of Modern Art presents its own selection of the most significant artworks in its collection. Few institutions approach the richness of The Museum of Modern Art's holdings in painting, sculpture, drawing, prints, illustrated books, architectural models and drawings, graphic and industrial design, photography, film, video and multimedia installations. In this volume, some 350 highlights--23 of which are new to this edition--from the Museum's six curatorial departments, are interwoven to present a sumptuous and broadly chronological overview that takes readers from Post-Impressionism to contemporary art. Every work that was executed in color is reproduced in MoMA Highlights in vibrant hues, and each is accompanied by a brief commentary. Updated and revised, this book is the definitive guide to the broad scope of MoMA's collection. Also updated and expanded, The Museum of Modern Art recently reopened on November 20, 2004 in its newly designed building by architect Yoshio Taniguchi. Founded in 1929 as an educational institution, MoMA is dedicated to being the foremost museum of modern art in the world. The ultimate purpose of the Museum declared at its founding, is to acquire the best modern works of art in all visual mediums. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
