The MoMA (New York, USA) will be showing a collection that highlights three series of recently acquired works, Franz Erhard Walther's First Work Set (1963-69), Willem de Kooning's 24 Untitled drawings (1966), and Martha Rosler's House Beautiful: Bring the War Home (1967-72).
Franz Erhard Walther emphasized the relationship between the art object and the body in space with his First Work Set, a group of 58 fabric elements that can only be fully activated through human participation. The 24 Untitled drawings that Willem de Kooning sketched with his eyes closed offer a counterpoint to Walther's project in their focus on the artist's internal vision and personal action.
Finally, Martha Rosler's two House Beautiful: Bringing the War Home series turn a critical eye on the era's sociopolitical context and expanding media sphere, especially as they played out in the bodies of women and victims of military violence.
Dates: through January 7.
Location: Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), 11 West 53 Street. New York, NY 10019. USA.
Opening hours: Wednesdays from 12am to 2pm. Third Saturday of each month.
