How well do you know your MoMA? If you think you can identify the artist and title of each of these works—all currently on view in the Museum’s fifth-floor painting and sculpture galleries—please submit your answers by leaving a comment on this post. We’ll provide the answers—along with some information about each work—in two weeks (on Friday, August 27), along with the next Do You Know Your MoMA? challenge. You should be able to identify some of these old friends.
ANSWERS TO THE JULY 30 CHALLENGE:
Was it too hot and nobody wanted to go outside? Is everyone on vacation? Alas, no winner, nor honorable mentions, to report this time around. This week’s challenge includes some very familiar and beloved works, so I hope we’ll have a winner.
