Event | $18 Exhibit: Sur Moderno Date & Time March 3 | 10:30am –
5:30pm Location 11 W 53rd St New York , NY Manhattan Description
(Until March 14) This sweeping survey of South American abstract art
– Sur moderno: Journeys of Abstraction—The Patricia Phelps de
Cisneros Gift – is drawn primarily from the paintings, sculptures,
and works on paper donated to the Museum by the Colección Patricia
Phelps de Cisneros. This extraordinarily comprehensive collection
provides the foundation for a journey through the history of abstract
and concrete art from South America at mid-century. The exhibition
explores the transformative power of abstraction in Brazil, Venezuela,
Argentina, and Uruguay, focusing on both the way that artists
reinvented the art object itself and the role of art in the renewal of
the social environment. Creator: Heidi Bohnenkamp Credit: The Museum
