At the core of The Museum of Modern Art's new building in Midtown Manhattan are dramatic and expansive new galleries devoted to showcasing the Museum's world-famous collection of international contemporary art. Contemporary Highlights presents this impressive collection in a portable size. This new handbook features curators' selections of the most significant artworks of the past twenty-five years. Interweaving 250 highlights from the Museum's seven curatorial departments - architecture and design, drawing, film, media, painting and sculpture, photography and prints, and illustrated books - this volume presents a broadly chronological overview of the innovative, provocative and always fascinating art of the past quarter century. Each work is presented on its own page in full colour, and each is accompanied by a brief and accessible essay outlining the work's significance. As a companion to MoMA Highlights or on its own, Contemporary Highlights is an indispensable publication for those interested in contemporary art and the collection of The Museum of Modern Art.

Book Description
This new edition of MoMA Highlights presents 375 works from the Museum of Modern Art's unparalleled collection of modern and contemporary art. Featuring 170 new selections--a greater representation of women, artists of color and artists from around the world--this updated volume reflects the inclusionary ethos of the newly expanded museum. MoMA Highlights presents a rich chronological overview of the art of the past 150 years, beginning with a photograph made around 1867 and concluding in 2017, with an Oscar-nominated documentary film. In between, readers will encounter some of the most beloved artworks in the museum's collection--iconic works by Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo and Andy Warhol, among many others--and discover lesser-known but equally fascinating and significant objects of art, architecture and design from around the world. Each work is represented by a vibrant image and a short, lively and informative text, many of which have been newly written or significantly revised for this edition. Published to accompany the opening of the museum's new and expanded collection galleries in 2019, MoMA Highlights is an indispensable survey of one of the world's premier collections of "the art of our time."

Book Description
"What is The Museum of Modern Art? For some it is a cherished sanctuary, for others an idea concretized through the art it has collected and exhibited, and for others still an educational laboratory where challenging and difficult art is confronted, measured, and understood. Founded in 1929 in small temporary quarters at 730 Fifth Avenue and now housed in a building that occupies almost half a city block at 11 West 53rd Street, The Museum of Modern Art, New York is on the cusp of a massive renovation and expansion that will see it into the 21st century. The Museum is a repository of masterpieces of modern and contemporary art, 325 of the best of which are reproduced here, accompanied by short, incisive, and intelligent texts."--Amazon.ca
