In this updated, expanded, and superbly produced handbook, The Museum of Modern Art presents its own selection of the most significant artworks in its collection. Few institutions approach the richness of The Museum of Modern Art's holdings in painting, sculpture, drawing, prints, illustrated books, architectural models and drawings, graphic and industrial design, photography, film, video and multimedia installations. In this volume, some 350 highlights--23 of which are new to this edition--from the Museum's six curatorial departments, are interwoven to present a sumptuous and broadly chronological overview that takes readers from Post-Impressionism to contemporary art. Every work that was executed in color is reproduced in MoMA Highlights in vibrant hues, and each is accompanied by a brief commentary. Updated and revised, this book is the definitive guide to the broad scope of MoMA's collection. Also updated and expanded, The Museum of Modern Art recently reopened on November 20, 2004 in its newly designed building by architect Yoshio Taniguchi. Founded in 1929 as an educational institution, MoMA is dedicated to being the foremost museum of modern art in the world. The ultimate purpose of the Museum declared at its founding, is to acquire the best modern works of art in all visual mediums.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

One expects any museum to produce greatest hits package type books along with the t-shirts, postcards, and boxer shorts that make a gift shop the driving engine of any decent museum. And if you thought this surely must be one of these kind of books, you’d not be faulted for that. However, the newly-expanded and revised version of this book (which is slightly less White Male-centric than its predecessor) is something of a classic when it comes to writing about modern art in a way that's both accessible and informative. Not to say that it's a masterpiece of art history, but it is a rather marvelous look at 350 major works from the Museum of Modern Art's considerably deep collection. One wishes many of these items could be on permanent display, but of course MOMA would have to be 50 times its size to showcase all of its holdings. You'll find a huge variety of disciplines, including video and multimedia works, design and painting, spanning pretty much the entire gamut of art, making it a model gift for the art lover in your circle of friends. --Mike McGonigal

Good Reference for Moma's famous paitings. It is a pity, however, that all the reproductions are more or less the same size and fairly small. And, as far as the analysis go, the book is not a good reference for art history. It does not group artist's work in trends or schools. Each painting is reviewed separately in small (however interesting) comments. All in all, an OK museum guide.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Souvenir
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2011
This Book as a very well rounded assortment of what's in the museum. I wish there was more elaboration of the artist's thoughts as well as how a work is intended to be viewed, but all of the entries are mainly about the physical significance of a work. But this is the official guide book of the museum so it's very handy to have and it makes a good souvenir.

Originally published in 1999 with a second edition in 2004, this excellent guide presents ‘350 Works from the Museum of Modern Art New York’. The reproduction on the front cover is Liechtenstein’s “Girl with a Ball”, 1961.

The wit of the team responsible for its production, a well as the diversity of art mediums and styles, is evident from the juxtaposition of the full page illustrations at the front of the book: “Bauhaus Stairway”, 1932, by Oskar Schlemmer and a platinum print of Frances Benjamin Johnston’s “Stairway of Treasurer’s Residence: Students at Work. Hampton Institute, Hampton, Virginia”, 1899-1900; Arthur Young’s “Bell-47D1 Helicopter”, 1945, and Robert Motherwell’s “Elegy to the Spanish Republic, 108”, 1965-67, I am unclear what the link is though; a colour still of the actor/director Clint Eastwood from “Unforgiven”, 1992, and “Untitled [Death by Gun]”, begun 1990, by Felix Gonzalez-Torres; Degas’ “At the Milliner’s”, c. 1882, and a b/w still of a top-hatted Marlene Dietrich from Josef von Sternberg’s “The Blue Angel”, 1930, and Jan Groover’s “Untitled”, 1988, a photograph of a still life that includes wooden bottles and grapes on a table, and Juan Gris’ papier collé, “Breakfast”, 1914.

Following an Introduction by the Museum’s Director, Glenn D. Lowry, that describes the history, aim and collection of MoMA up to the opening of its new, expanded galleries and layout in 2004. The works are then presented chronologically from “The Bather”, c. 1885, by Cézanne to “After ‘Invisible Man’ by Ralph Ellison, the Prologue”, 2001, by Jeff Wall, a silver dye bleach transparency of the artist’s studio on an aluminium light box. There is a useful Index of Illustrations. Each work is illustrated by a reproduction of the work, typically in ½ to ⅓ page size together with a commentary by Museum staff.

The range of works covers paintings, sculpture, assemblages, photographs, installations [including Vito Acconci’s “Adjustable Wall Bra”, 1990-91], videos and film stills, but also a helicopter, the iconic 1991 Formula 1 Ferrari 641/2 of 1990 designed by John Barnard and Eero Saarinen’s Tulip Armchair, 1955-56.

The majority of artists are represented by a single work, but key artists such as Max Ernst, Gauguin, Giacometti, van Gogh, Ellsworth Kelly, Kirchner, Klee, Mondrian, Pollock, Rauschenberg, Gerhard Richter, Rodchenko and Warhol all have 2, Mies van der Rohe, Miró and Frank Lloyd Wright 3 each and Picasso and Matisse each have 7.

Works that caught my eye include “Watchtower [Hochsitz]”, 1984, by Sigmar Polke that reflects the border region between the two Germanys; Carl Andre’s Minimalist “144 Lead Square”, 1969; Edward Ruschka’s “OOF”, 1962-63; Joan Mitchell’s “Ladybug”, 1957; Ellsworth Kelly’s “Colours for a Large Wall,” 1951; Wilfredo Lam’s “The Jungle”, 1943; Brancusi’s “Fish”, 1930; Walt Disney’s “Steamboat Willie”, 1928, ad Max Pechstein’s “Dancer Reflected in a Mirror”, 1923.

The only disadvantage of the book is that the 380 pages put a great pressure on the spine so that, whilst it can be readily opened and perused, it may not stand up to prolonged ‘flicking through’.
