Last Call: Reverberations walkthrough with Bennett Simpson

Join MOCA Senior Curator Bennett Simpson for a walkthrough of MOCA collection exhibition Reverberations.

MOCA’s collection, now numbering close to 8,000 works of art spanning the mid-twentieth century to the present, is internationally renowned for its depth and excellence across media, style, and art history. Highlighting areas of unique strength, these collection galleries orient around single-artist presentations of work by Robert Rauschenberg and Mark Rothko and gather key acquisitions made by the museum throughout its 44-year history, including many selections from the foundational Panza, Schreiber, Weisman and Parsons collections.

Galleries devoted to abstraction, Pop, and conceptual work from the 1950s and 1960s are joined by recent acquisitions from Nairy Baghramian, Isa Genzken, and Rachel Harrison while figurative paintings by Michael Armitage, Jennifer Packer, and Henry Taylor join canonical works by Alice Neel, George Segal and others. Also on view are presentations of Robert Frank’s “The Americans” in its entirety and Renee Green’s installation Import-Export Funk Office (1993).

He is the organizer of Reverberations, with curatorial assistant Emilia Nicholson-Fajardo, as well as numerous other exhibitions at the museum, including Henry Taylor: B Side, William Pope.L: Trinket, and Blues for Smoke.
