Our new monthly Ab Ex NY E-News explores the intriguing figures and ideas behind Abstract Expressionist New York—read on to discover the many ways you can learn about their signature styles and techniques, both at MoMA and online. ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST NEW YORK On view through April 25 Drawn entirely from the Museum's vast holdings of Abstract Expressionist art, this sweeping exhibition underscores the achievements of a generation that left as its legacy some of the twentieth century's greatest masterpieces. Works by Jackson Pollock, Barnett Newman, Lee Krasner, Mark Rothko, and David Smith, among many others, join revelatory pieces by lesser-known artists—some 250 works in all, magnificently presented on three floors of the Museum—to illustrate the interwoven histories of Abstract Expressionism, MoMA, and New York City. Occupying the entire fourth floor, The Big Picture brings together paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, and documentary materials from the Museum's Archives. The exhibition continues with Ideas Not Theories: Artists and the Club, 1942–1962 in the third-floor Drawings Galleries and Rock Paper Scissors in the second-floor Prints and Illustrated Books Galleries, installations that illuminate the dynamic art community and the range and liveliness of Abstract Expressionist ideas and practices at the time. WEBSITE Visit the Ab Ex NY website to take a closer look at renowned Abstract Expressionist paintings. Learn how the artists achieved their signature styles—from the drip paintings of Jackson Pollock to Mark Rothko's vibrantly hued canvases—through unique and engaging videos. And don't miss the multimedia map of studios, galleries, bars, and other points of interest in the history of Abstract Expressionism and New York City during this time. BOOK Abstract Expressionism at The Museum of Modern Art celebrates MoMA's collection of Abstract Expressionist art with 100 illustrations of key works from the collection, plus a fascinating array of documentary photographs from the 1940s through the 1960s. The Museum began collecting works by Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, David Smith, Lee Krasner, Mark Rothko, and others before they were well-known, and Chief Curator Ann Temkin's engrossing essay traces MoMA's relationship with this pivotal movement and the artists who would go on to change modern art.
