The Permanent Collection at Modern Art Oxford on artrepublic.com
Exhibition running from Apr 01 2008
Since it opened in 1965, MOMA has established an international reputation for the high quality of its pioneering exhibition programme, which covers twentieth century painting, sculpture, photography, film, video, architecture, design and performance from all over the world. Originally built as a brewery in the 1880s, the premises were converted to their present use in several phases between 1965 and 1988. The building now houses five large exhibition galleries, a café, and a bookshop. Visitors of all ages can take advantage of a comprehensive education and public access programme which includes evening talks, debates, worshops, holiday activities and guided tours. MOMA does not have a permanent collection. Most of the Museum's exhibitions tour nationally and internationally and have reached destinations as diverse as Edinburgh, Lisbon, Johannesburg, Buenos Aires, Moscow, Tokyo and Sydney. MOMA's exhibition programme in Oxford has included the first presentations in Britain of major international artists such as Donald Judd, Louise Bourgeois, Roy Lichtenstein and Carl Andre.  |
