GMYS #101
The Museum of Modern Art:
In Our Time
What do the superstars of modern art -- Van Gogh,
Matisse, Picasso, Pollock, Warhol -- have in
common with the Vincent Black Shadow
motorcycle and an Apple iPod? All share the stage
at New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).
Here the two big questions are: What makes it
modern AND what makes it art? MoMA’s scholars
along with David Rockefeller (son of MoMA
founder Abby Rockefeller) prove that the modern
art of any age is not the newest; it’s the next.
