Exploring Unmonumental

“Unmonumental” is an exhibition about a world in pieces and a parallel impulse in art-making. This curriculum explores the exhibition through eleven sequential lessons.

Professional Development for Teachers

A new series of teacher-focused workshops and lectures provide educators with historical and contextual information about contemporary art.

Student Project: Our Space

On March 29, 2007 an empty storefront on 42nd Street was converted into an art installation titled Our Space, a project featuring the work of twenty-three students conceptualized by artist Ricky Sears.

Tomma Abts

In this climate, Abts’ paintings delivered a shock to the eye, as well as to the prevailing taste; small in size, subdued in palette, they were, and are, profoundly nonrepresentational. This exhibition, the first solo show of the artist’s work in the U.S., consists of fourteen works painted over the past eight years. All of them are exemplary of Abts’ remarkably consistent method and stylistic language.
