How well do you know your MoMA? Above are images of works from the MoMA collection that are currently on view in the galleries. If you think you can identify the artist, title, and location of each work, please submit your answers by leaving a comment on this post. We’ll provide the answers—along with some information about each work—next Friday, along with the next Do You Know Your MoMA? challenge.
ANSWERS TO LAST WEEK’S CHALLENGE:
Last week we inaugurated the Do You Know Your MoMA? challenge by asking our readers to identify six images from the collection. We got over one hundred submissions—from Facebook as well as the blog—and I was impressed by how many of you had the correct answers. However, only one of you followed the directions fully and identified the location of the works as well as the artist and title. Congratulations to Nettrice—the only thing you missed was the location of Dive Bomber and Tank, which is located at the entrance to the fifth-floor galleries. You are our first winner!
Here are the answers to last week’s challenge:
