Mid-Century Modern March 3, 2011

By the middle of the 20th century, abstraction had become the predominant visual language of the art world, and New York--not Paris--had become its center. From the precise geometric abstraction of artists like Albers to the delicate colors and organic shapes of work by Frankenthaler, this exhibition explores the exciting shifts that occured in the late1940s and 1950s and continued to influence art through the end of the century.
