Published on the occasion of its 40th Anniversary, this book provides the first authoritative history on the New Museum, an institution whose bold and experimental spirit made it a model twenty-first-century art museum. The book traces the museum’s growth, from its beginnings in a classroom at the New School to its role as an international institution, through essays and a detailed chronology that captures the museum’s legendary firsts, major milestones, groundbreaking exhibitions, and prescient curatorial thinking.
