Permanent Collection

This exhibition features many highlights of the permanent collection. Works in many media show the diversity of the Modern’s collection. Various movements, themes, and styles are represented, including Abstract Expressionism, Color Field painting, Nouveau Réalisme, Pop art, Minimalism, and post-Minimalism, as well as aspects of New Image Painting from the 1970s and beyond, recent developments in abstract and figurative sculpture, and contemporary photography and video.

A museum is an organic, changing place. In order to show the full range of our holdings and to accommodate important temporary exhibitions, certain works must occasionally be taken off view. Please refer to the exhibition checklist for works currently on view in the Museum galleries.
