MoMA2000
October 7, 1999 - February 13, 2001
In October 1999, The Museum of Modern Art
launched a
17-month-long series of exhibitions that
presents well-known and
less-familiar art works in unusual juxtapositions and new
contexts. An exploration both of the Museum's unparalleled
collection and of new ways of displaying it, MoMA2000 provides a
provocative look at some of this century's most compelling and
powerful art. Conceived as a preliminary laboratory for the
reinstallation of the Museum's collection after the completion
of our new building project, it offers fresh interpretations of
the premises, meanings, and diversity of modern art.
MoMA2000 presents three major exhibition cycles that focus on
distinct historical periods: 1880 to 1920, 1920 to 1960, and
1960 to the present. Each historical cycle will be interspersed
with works from other periods, creating a dialogue between
various historical moments. Installed throughout the entire
Museum, works in all mediums are presented in innovative,
multidisciplinary ways.
