NEW YORK.- Multiplex: Directions In Art, 1970 To Now comprises 72 works of contemporary art, on view through July 28, 2008, bringing together painting, sculpture, prints, drawings, photography, and media works from the Museum’s collection. The installation is organized thematically and presents three of what could be many distinct paths in art today. This is the most recent presentation in the Museum’s second-floor galleries devoted to the contemporary period, which are reconfigured and reinstalled annually to show the Museum’s vast collection of contemporary art from different viewpoints. This installation is organized by Deborah Wye, The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Chief Curator of Prints and Illustrated Books. It includes many recent acquisitions that reflect MoMA’s commitment to contemporary art, including works by Jeremy Blake, Tacita Dean, Andreas Gursky, Rachel Harrison, David Hammons, Jenny Holzer, Lin Tianmiao, Sarah Lucas, Tobias Putrih, Richard Wright, Lisa Yuskavage, and Zhang Huan. Nearly half of the works included in Multiplex are on view at the Museum for the first time.
