NEW YORK.- The Museum of Modern Art presents To Be Looked At: Painting and Sculpture from the Collection, on view through September 6, 2004. The Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest collections of modern art in the world. Since the Museum’s founding in 1929, this collection has grown to number over thirty-five hundred objects, of which only a fraction can be displayed at any one time. The inaugural installation of the collection at MoMA QNS presents more than seventy-five of the Museum’s most iconic and best-loved works along with works by more contemporary American and European artists. Highlights of the exhibition include Pablo Picasso’s Night Fishing at Antibes (1939), Piet Mondrian’s Broadway Boogie Woogie (1942–43), and Roy Lichtenstein’s Interior with Mobile (1992).

Please note that due to traveling exhibitions, works from MoMA’s collection may not be on view at all times. If you are interested in finding out which works from the collection are now on view at the Museum, a checklist is available. Currently, Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night and other works are on loan to The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (September 21, 2003–January 4, 2004), and the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin (February 18–September 19, 2004). These works return to MoMA in November 2004. The exhibition was organized by Kynaston McShine, Chief Curator at Large, Department of Painting and Sculpture.
