MOT Collection: Rewinding the Collection
The Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo houses approximately 5,500 artworks in its extensive collection, which spans the modern and contemporary periods with a focus on art of the postwar years. In an aim to communicate the diverse appeal of contemporary art, each installment of the 鈥淢OT Collection鈥� exhibition serves to introduce artworks in the collection from various themes and angles in order to offer visitors with an opportunity to engage with even the same works from various perspectives. On this occasion we bring our focus to the origin and history of the collection, presenting two sections that introduce a variety of works that span a wide range of periods and regions, from modern paintings collected during the 鈥淭okyo Prefectural Art Museum鈥� era* to large-scale overseas works collected towards the opening of the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.
