History [edit]
Heckscher and other buildings (1929–1939) [edit]
The thought for the Museum of Modern Fine art was developed in 1929 primarily by Abby Aldrich Rockefeller (wife of John D. Rockefeller, Jr.) and two of her friends, Lillie P. Bliss and Mary Quinn Sullivan.[7] They became known variously as "the Ladies" or "the adamantine ladies".[8] [9] They rented pocket-sized quarters for the new museum in the Heckscher Building at 730 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan,[8] and it opened to the public on November seven, 1929, nine days later on the Wall Street Crash.[x] Abby Rockefeller had invited A. Conger Goodyear, the former president of the board of trustees of the Albright Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York, to become president of the new museum. Abby became treasurer. At the time, it was America's premier museum devoted exclusively to modernistic art, and the beginning of its kind in Manhattan to showroom European modernism.[eleven] Ane of Rockefeller'due south early recruits for the museum staff was the noted Japanese-American photographer Soichi Sunami (at that fourth dimension best known for his portraits of modern dance pioneer Martha Graham), who served the museum every bit its official documentary photographer from 1930 until 1968.[12] [13]
Goodyear enlisted Paul J. Sachs and Frank Crowninshield to bring together him every bit founding trustees. Sachs, the associate director and curator of prints and drawings at the Fogg Museum at Harvard University, was referred to in those days equally a "collector of curators". Goodyear asked him to recommend a director and Sachs suggested Alfred H. Barr, Jr., a promising immature protégé. Under Barr'south guidance, the museum'south holdings quickly expanded from an initial gift of eight prints and one drawing. Its first successful loan exhibition was in November 1929, displaying paintings by Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cézanne, and Seurat.[xiv]
First housed in six rooms of galleries and offices on the twelfth floor of Manhattan's Heckscher Building,[fifteen] on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, the museum moved into iii more temporary locations within the next x years. Abby Rockefeller's husband, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was adamantly opposed to the museum (likewise as to modernistic art itself) and refused to release funds for the venture, which had to be obtained from other sources and resulted in the frequent shifts of location. Notwithstanding, he eventually donated the land for the current site of the museum, plus other gifts over time, and thus became in result one of its greatest benefactors.[16]
During that time the museum initiated many more than exhibitions of noted artists, such as the lone Vincent van Gogh exhibition on November 4, 1935. Containing an unprecedented sixty-half dozen oils and l drawings from the Netherlands, likewise as poignant excerpts from the artist'southward letters, it was a major public success due to Barr'south organization of the showroom, and became "a precursor to the hold van Gogh has to this day on the gimmicky imagination".[17]
53rd Street (1939–present) [edit]
1930s to 1950s [edit]
The museum as well gained international prominence with the hugely successful and at present famous Picasso retrospective of 1939–40, held in conjunction with the Art Institute of Chicago. In its range of presented works, information technology represented a significant reinterpretation of Picasso for future art scholars and historians. This was wholly masterminded by Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, and the exhibition lionized Picasso every bit the greatest creative person of the time, setting the model for all the museum'southward retrospectives that were to follow.[18] Boy Leading a Horse was briefly contested over buying with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.[xix] In 1941, MoMA hosted the ground-breaking exhibition, "Indian Art of the United States" (curated past Frederic Huntington Douglas and Rene d'Harnoncourt), that inverse the way Native American arts were viewed by the public and exhibited in art museums.
The archway to The Museum of Mod Art
When Abby Rockefeller's son Nelson was selected past the lath of trustees to become its president, in 1939, at the age of thirty; he was a flamboyant leader and became the prime number instigator and funding source of MoMA's publicity, acquisitions, and subsequent expansion into new headquarters on 53rd Street. His blood brother, David Rockefeller, as well joined the museum'southward board of trustees, in 1948, and took over the presidency, when Nelson was elected Governor of New York, in 1958.
David subsequently employed the noted architect Philip Johnson to redesign the museum garden and name it in accolade of his mother, the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden. He and the Rockefeller family in general accept retained a close association with the museum throughout its history, with the Rockefeller Brothers Fund funding the institution since 1947. Both David Rockefeller, Jr. and Sharon Percy Rockefeller (married woman of quondam senator Jay Rockefeller) sit down on the board of trustees.[ citation needed ] Subsequently the Rockefeller Guest House at 242 E 52nd Street was completed in 1950, some MoMA functions were held in the business firm until 1964.[twenty] [21]
In 1937, MoMA had shifted to offices and basement galleries in the Time-Life Building in Rockefeller Center. Its permanent and current home, now renovated, designed in the International Manner past the modernist architects Philip L. Goodwin and Edward Durell Stone, opened to the public on May x, 1939, attended by an illustrious visitor of vi,000 people, and with an opening accost via radio from the White House by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.[22]
1958 fire [edit]
On April 15, 1958, a fire on the 2nd flooring destroyed an 18-foot (5.5 m) long Monet Water Lilies painting (the current Monet Water Lilies was caused shortly after the fire as a replacement). The fire started when workmen installing ac were smoking near paint cans, sawdust, and a canvass dropcloth. One worker was killed in the fire and several firefighters were treated for smoke inhalation. Almost of the paintings on the floor had been moved for the construction although large paintings including the Monet were left. Art work on the 3rd and 4th floors were evacuated to the Whitney Museum of American Art, which abutted it on the 54th Street side. Amongst the paintings that were moved was A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, which had been on loan by the Art Found of Chicago. Visitors and employees above the fire were evacuated to the roof and so jumped to the roof of an adjoining townhouse.[23]
1960–1982 [edit]
In 1969, the MoMA was at the centre of a controversy over its decision to withdraw funding from the iconic anti-war poster And babies. In 1969, the Art Workers Coalition (AWC), a grouping of New York City artists who opposed the Vietnam War, in collaboration with Museum of Modern Art members Arthur Drexler and Elizabeth Shaw, created an iconic protest poster chosen And babies.[24] The poster uses an prototype past photojournalist Ronald L. Haeberle and references the My Lai Massacre. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) had promised to fund and circulate the affiche, simply after seeing the two by 3 pes poster MoMA pulled financing for the project at the concluding minute.[25] [26] MoMA's Board of Trustees included Nelson Rockefeller and William S. Paley (head of CBS), who reportedly "hit the ceiling" on seeing the proofs of the poster.[25] The poster was included before long thereafter in MoMA's Information exhibition of July 2 to September 20, 1970, curated by Kynaston McShine.[27] Another controversy involved Pablo Picasso'due south painting Boy Leading a Horse (1905–06), donated to MoMA by William Southward. Paley in 1964. The condition of the work as being sold nether duress past its German Jewish owners in the 1930s was in dispute. The descendants of the original owners sued MoMA and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, which has another Picasso painting, Le Moulin de la Galette (1900), once endemic by the same family, for render of the works.[28] Both museums reached a confidential settlement with the descendants before the case went to trial and retained their corresponding paintings.[19] [29] [30] Both museums had claimed from the first to be the proper owners of these paintings, and that the claims were illegitimate. In a joint argument the two museums wrote: "we settled simply to avert the costs of prolonged litigation, and to ensure the public continues to accept access to these important paintings."[31]
1980–1999 [edit]
Stairs in the Museum of Modern Fine art
Cross-department of the Museum of Mod Art
In 1983, the Museum more doubled its gallery and increased curatorial department by 30 percent, and added an auditorium, two restaurants and a bookstore in conjunction with the structure of the 56-story Museum Belfry adjoining the museum.[32]
In 1997, the museum undertook a major renovation and expansion designed by Japanese builder Yoshio Taniguchi with Kohn Pedersen Fox. The project, including an increase in MoMA'southward endowment to cover operating expenses, cost $858 million in total. The project near doubled the space for MoMA's exhibitions and programs and features 630,000 square feet (59,000 mtwo) of space. The Peggy and David Rockefeller Building on the western portion of the site houses the primary exhibition galleries, and The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Enquiry Edifice provides space for classrooms, auditoriums, instructor training workshops, and the museum's expanded Library and Archives. These two buildings frame the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, which was enlarged from its original configuration.
21st century [edit]
The museum was closed for two years in connectedness with the renovation and moved its public-facing operations to a temporary facility called MoMA QNS in Long Isle City, Queens. When MoMA reopened in 2004, the renovation was controversial. Some critics idea that Taniguchi'due south design was a fine example of contemporary architecture, while many others were displeased with aspects of the design, such as the flow of the space.[33] [34] [35] In 2005, the museum sold land that it endemic w of its existing building to Hines, a Texas real manor developer, under an agreement that reserved space on the lower levels of the building Hines planned to construct there for a MoMA expansion.[36]
In 2011, MoMA caused an adjacent building constructed and occupied by the American Folk Art Museum on West 53rd Street. The building was a well-regarded construction designed past Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects and was sold in connectedness with a fiscal restructuring of the Folk Art Museum.[37] When MoMA appear that information technology would demolish the building in connection with its expansion, in that location was outcry and considerable discussion about the upshot, but the museum ultimately proceeded with its original plans.[38]
The Hines edifice, designed by Jean Nouvel and called 53W53, received construction blessing in 2014.[39] Around the time of Hines' construction blessing, MoMA unveiled its expansion plans, which embrace infinite in 53W53, as well as structure on the former site of the American Folk Fine art Museum.[40] The expansion plan was adult by the architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Gensler. The first phase of construction began in 2014. In June 2017, patrons and the public were welcomed into MoMA to see the completion of the first phase of the $450 million expansion to the museum.[41]
Spread over three floors of the art mecca off Fifth Avenue are fifteen,000 square-feet (about 1,400 square-meters) of reconfigured galleries, a new, 2nd gift shop, a redesigned cafe and espresso bar and, facing the sculpture garden, two lounges graced with black marble quarried in France.[41]
The museum expansion projection increased the publicly accessibly infinite past 25% compared to when the Tanaguchi building was completed in 2004.[42] The expansion allowed for even more of the museum'southward collection of nearly 200,000 works to be displayed.[41] The new spaces also allow visitors to relish a relaxing sit-down in ane of the two new lounges, or even have a fully catered meal.[41] The two new lounges include "The Marlene Hess and James D. Zirin Lounge" and "The Daniel and Jane Och Lounge".[41] [43] The goal of this renovation is to help expand the drove and display of work past women, Latinos, blacks, Asians, and other marginalized communities.[44] In connection with the renovation, MoMA shifted its approach to presenting its holdings, moving abroad from separating the drove past disciplines such equally painting, blueprint and works on paper toward an integrated chronological presentation that encompasses all areas of the collection.[42]
The Museum of Modern Art airtight for another round of major renovations from June to October 2019.[44] [45] Upon reopening on Oct 21, 2019, MoMA added 47,000 square anxiety (4,400 m2) of gallery space,[46] and its total floor area was 708,000 square feet (65,800 grandtwo).[47] The expansion and refurbishment was overseen by the architectural firm of Diller Scofidio + Renfro.[48] The institution began offer free online classes in April 2014.[49]

Film [edit]
In 1932, museum founder Alfred Barr stressed the importance of introducing "the just peachy fine art form peculiar to the twentieth century" to "the American public which should appreciate good films and support them". Museum Trustee and movie producer John Hay Whitney became the start chairman of the Museum's Film Library from 1935 to 1951. The collection Whitney assembled with the help of movie curator Iris Barry was so successful that in 1937 the Academy of Movement Pictures Arts and Sciences commended the Museum with an award "for its meaning work in collecting films ... and for the first time making available to the public the means of studying the historical and artful evolution of the movement picture equally one of the major arts".[57]
The kickoff curator and founder of the Film Library was Iris Barry, a British movie critic and author, whose three decades of pioneering work in collecting films and presenting them in coherent artistic and historical contexts gained recognition for the movie house as the major new art form of our century. Barry and her successors take built a collection comprising some 8 thousand titles today, concentrating on assembling an outstanding collection of the of import works of international flick fine art, with emphasis beingness placed on obtaining the highest-quality materials.[58]

Architecture and design [edit]
MoMA's Department of Architecture and Design was founded in 1932[61] as the offset museum section in the world dedicated to the intersection of architecture and design.[62] The department's starting time director was Philip Johnson who served equally curator between 1932–34 and 1946–54.[63] The side by side departmental caput was Arthur Drexler, who was curator from 1951 to 1956 and then served as head until 1986.[64]

Management [edit]
Omnipresence [edit]
MoMA attracted 706,060 visitors in 2020, a drop of sixty-five percent from 2019, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It ranked twenty-fifth on the List of well-nigh visited art museums in the world in 2020.[6]
MoMA has seen its average number of visitors rising from almost 1.v 1000000 a year to 2.five million after its new granite and glass renovation. In 2009, the museum reported 119,000 members and 2.8 million visitors over the previous financial twelvemonth. MoMA attracted its highest-e'er number of visitors, 3.09 1000000, during its 2010 fiscal year;[70] yet, attendance dropped xi pct to 2.eight meg in 2011.[71] Attendance in 2016 was 2.viii million, down from 3.1 million in 2015.[72]
The museum was open up every day since its founding in 1929, until 1975, when it closed one mean solar day a week (originally Wednesdays) to reduce operating expenses. In 2012, it again opened every day, including Tuesday, the one day it has traditionally been closed.[73]
Admission [edit]
The Museum of Modern Art charges an admission fee of $25 per adult.[74] Upon MoMA's reopening, its admission cost increased from $12 to $20, making it one of the most expensive museums in the metropolis. Withal, it has complimentary entry on Fridays subsequently five:30pm, as office of the Uniqlo Costless Friday Nights program. Many New York area college students besides receive free admission to the museum.[75]
Finances [edit]
A private not-profit system, MoMA is the seventh-largest U.S. museum by budget;[76] its annual acquirement is near $145 1000000 (none of which is profit). In 2011, the museum reported net assets (basically, a total of all the resources information technology has on its books, except the value of the art) of just over $1 billion.
Dissimilar about museums, the museum eschews authorities funding, instead subsisting on a fragmented budget with a half-dozen dissimilar sources of income, none larger than a fifth.[77] Before the economic crisis of belatedly 2008, the MoMA's board of trustees decided to sell its equities in lodge to movement into an all-cash position. An $858 million capital entrada funded the 2002–04 expansion, with David Rockefeller donating $77 million in cash.[76] In 2005, Rockefeller pledged an additional $100 million toward the museum's endowment.[78] In 2011, Moody'due south Investors Service, a bail rating agency, rated $57 million worth of new debt in 2010 with a positive outlook and echoed their Aa2 bond credit rating for the underlying establishment. The bureau noted that MoMA has "superior financial flexibility with over $332 meg of unrestricted fiscal resources", and has had solid attendance and record sales at its retail outlets around the city and online. Some of the challenges that Moody'southward noted were the reliance that the museum has on the tourist industry in New York for its operating revenue, and a large amount of debt. The museum at the time had a 2.4 debt-to-operating revenues ratio, just it was also noted that MoMA intended to retire $370 million worth of debt in the next few years. Standard & Poor'southward raised its long-term rating for the museum as it benefited from the fundraising of its trustees.[79] Later on structure expenses for the new galleries are covered, the Modern estimates that some $65 million will go to its $650 million endowment.
MoMA spent $32 one thousand thousand to acquire art for the fiscal year ending in June 2012.[80]
MoMA employed about 815 people in 2007.[77] The museum's revenue enhancement filings from the by few years suggest a shift amid the highest paid employees from curatorial staff to direction.[81] The museum's director Glenn D. Lowry earned $one.half-dozen meg in 2009[82] and lives in a hire-free $six million apartment above the museum.[83]
MoMA was forced to close in March 2020 during the COVID-xix pandemic in New York City.[84] Citing the coronavirus shutdown, MoMA fired its art educators in April 2020.[85] In May 2020, information technology was reported that MoMA would reduce its almanac upkeep from $180 to $135 million starting July ane. Exhibition and publication funding was cutting by half, and staff reduced from around 960 to 800.[84]
Primal people [edit]
Officers and the board of trustees [edit]
Currently, the lath of trustees includes 46 trustees and xv life trustees. Even including the lath'south 14 "honorary" trustees, who exercise not have voting rights and do non play every bit direct a office in the museum, this amounts to an average individual contribution of more than $7 meg.[81] The Founders Wall was created in 2004, when MoMA's expansion was completed, and features the names of actual founders in addition to those who gave significant gifts; near a half-dozen names accept been added since 2004. For instance, Ileana Sonnabend'southward name was added in 2012, even though she was only fifteen when the museum was established in 1929.[86]

The exhibition featured 165 artists; just xiv of which those were women.[91] [92]
Fine art repatriation problems [edit]
The MoMA has been involved in several claims initiated past families for artworks lost in the Holocaust which ended up in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art.[93]
In 2009, the heirs of German artist George Grosz filed a lawsuit seeking restitution of three works by Grosz, and the heirs of Paul von Mendelssohn-Bartholdy filed a lawsuit demanding the return of the painting by Pablo Picasso, entitled Boy Leading a Equus caballus (1905–1906).[94] [95] [96]
In another case, later a decade long courtroom fight, in 2015 the MoMA returned a painting entitled Sand Hills by German artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner to the Fischer family unit because information technology had been stolen by Nazis.[97]
Strike MoMA [edit]
Strike MoMA is a 2021 movement to strike the museum targeting what its supporters accept chosen the "toxic philanthropy" of the museum'southward leadership.[98] [99]
