Rate this book
La Fondation Louis Vuitton expose les chefs d'oeuvres du MoMA à l'automne 2017. Deux cents oeuvres retracent l'histoire du MoMA et la formation de la collection, de sa première décennie (House by the Railroad d'Edward Hopper acquis en 1930), en passant par l'après-guerre (Pollock et De Kooning) puis au pop art et au minimalisme jusqu'aux oeuvres contemporaines acquises très récemment comme Untitled (Club Scene) de Kerry James Marshall ou un jeu de carte de Shigetaka Kurita. Certaines n'ont encore jamais été exposées en France.
