International Program
The Museum of Modern Art
11 West 53rd Street
New York, NY 10019
The International Program was founded in 1952. Today our goals are to:
- Build and sustain an ever-expanding network of colleagues in the visual arts across the world
- Foster research on the visual arts in a global context
- Share expertise with colleagues and MoMA's public through international programs, platforms, and publications
What We Do
In MoMA's International Program department, we work with colleagues across the Museum and globe to:
- Organize events (symposia, conferences, think tanks) and institutes that focus on issues related to the visual arts and architecture of the 20th and 21st centuries in a global context
- Coordinate the Museum's Primary Documents publication series. For these books, we work with teams of scholars to collect, translate, and contextualize primary source materials that are essential to a deeper understanding of art history of the 20th and 21st centuries in specific countries and regions.
- Collaborate with colleagues across the globe on projects related to the Museum's broader program
Team
This course introduces students to the key works and ideas of modern art, from Dada, de Stijl, and the Bauhaus to the beginnings of the New York School. Moving chronologically through the Museum's collection, students encounter an array of renowned and provocative objects—from paintings that challenged the official Academy and revolutionized the conventions of representation, to photographs that capture the dynamism of modern life, to modernist buildings that fill city skylines. Artists covered include Marcel Duchamp, Constantin Brancusi, Paul Klee, Marcel Breuer, Hannah Hoch, Kazimir Malevich, Piet Mondrian, Salvador Dalí, and many others.
*Students interested in this course may also wish to enroll in Modern Art, 1880–1915.
Rachel Silveri is currently a doctoral student in the Department of Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University. She focuses on modern and contemporary art, with a particular interest the thematic of the everyday throughout the historic and neo- avant-gardes.
