This major anthology of modern and contemporary art, unique in its comprehensiveness and quality, spans more than a century of painting and sculpture, design and architecture, photography, and artists' books. It is arranged strictly in chronological order, offering the reader a perspective that allows them to view the works by comparing different sensibilities and intuitions from the same year, but also over time.
In this way, it is possible to explore the constant process of experimentation inherent in artistic expression, but also to observe the variety of ways in which art has confronted our times, in the form of narrative, commentary, protest, or even by proposing an alternative vision or new values. A profile of modern and contemporary art in the light of the most prestigious and famous collection in the world, that of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Along this journey represented by 200 artists and more than 240 works, we encounter painters such as Klimt, Schiele, Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso, Klee, Kahlo, Rauschenberg, Oldenburg, Lichtenstein, Warhol, Rothko, Hopper; sculptors such as Rodin, Boccioni, Brancusi, Giacometti; photographers such as Adams, Cartier-Bresson, Arbus, Brassaï, Lange; architects and designers such as Otto Wagner, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Kahn, Castiglioni, Aalto, Venturi. The high-quality reproductions are rigorously commented by the heads of the relevant thematic sections of MoMA.
