The works displayed on the fourth floor roughly span the years 1940 to 1980. Within an overall chronological flow, galleries highlight individual stylistic movements, artists, and themes, including Abstract Expressionism, Pop art, Minimalism, Conceptual art, and the work of Marcel Broodthaers, among other subjects. An ongoing program of periodic reinstallations allows the curators to present a wide range of artworks in various configurations, reflecting the view that there are countless ways to explore the history of modern art and the Museum’s rich collection. The Painting and Sculpture Galleries on the fifth floor display art made between 1880 and 1940; the Contemporary Galleries, on the second floor, present the most recent works in the collection.
