In a lively panorama of stimulating juxtapositions, sequences, and cross references, Modern Contemporary provides a cornucopia of more than 550 works of key contemporary art. Thought-provoking page spreads pair Matthew Barney, Kara Walker, and Jia Zhang Ke; Gabriel Orozco, Chris Ofili, and Jeanne Dunning; Rineke Dijkstra and Philippe Starck; Jenny Holzer and Robert Gober; Mona Hatoum and Teiji Furuhashi; Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Juan Snchez, Raymond Pettibon, and Rosemarie Trockel; Lari Pittman, Gary Hill, and General Idea; and David Wojnarowicz and Bruce Nauman to name a few. The first publication to address the extensive holdings of contemporary art in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Modern Contemporary covers an international spectrum of art in a variety of mediums, all made within the final two decades of the 20th century. Organized chronologically and encompassing a prime selection of painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, drawings, design, prints, film, and video, this rich and varied array of art from 1980 until now offers a virtual compendium of the visual culture of our own time.

Document of an era January 18, 2008
D. Cover (Oakland)
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book functions fairly well as a collection of pictures from an era in American art when art was beginning to expand its hegemony in the cultural realm. Most of the visual art comes out of whatever trend was dominant in its particular moment, and so while fairly recent some of the work already is starting to look dated. Also this book mixes up "high" art such as painting and sculpture with "popular" art such as film and furniture design, without making any attempt to tie together all the different forms of cultural production into some meaningful pattern or theory. As a document of its era it makes some sense, but it doesn't go very deep in searching for meaning in the multiplicity of the forms it presents.
