FOCUS: Gardar Eide Einarsson
December 13, 2009–February 14, 2010
The first Focus exhibition for the 2009–2010 season will feature the work of Gardar Eide Einarsson, who often explores the complex relationship between individuals and institutions, and the painful limits of transgressing society-imposed boundaries. Growing up in Oslo, Norway, which is widely regarded as one of the safest cities in the world, and then moving to New York two days before September 11, 2001, has given Einarsson a broad perspective on the notion of the institution and how it impacts our lives.
THE COLLECTION AND THEN SOME
The Modern maintains one of the foremost collections of modern and contemporary international art in the central United States. Various movements, themes, and styles are represented, including Abstract Expressionism, Color Field painting, Pop art, and Minimalism, as well as aspects of New Image Painting from the 1970s and beyond, recent developments in abstraction and figurative sculpture, and contemporary movements in photography, video, and digital imagery.
List of Works on View
The majority of galleries on the second floor are closed due to installation of our upcoming exhibition. They will reopen on February 14 with the special exhibition Andy Warhol: The Last Decade.
