Introducing the New Book “Modern and Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston”

The new Nancy and Rich Kinder Building gives visitors the first comprehensive look at the Museum’s international collections of modern and contemporary art.

To commemorate the opening of the building, the MFAH presents Modern and Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. This indispensable volume offers a fresh perspective on the Museum’s evolution and features stunning visuals from the art collections spanning the 20th century and continuing into the 21st century.

“This book highlights the art collections that are shown in the Nancy and Rich Kinder Building and elsewhere on the Sarofim Campus, while charting the Museum’s involvement with modern art over the last century and the ensuing growth of the collections.” —Gary Tinterow, MFAH Director

Written by Gary Tinterow with an essay by curator Alison de Lima Greene, Modern and Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston also includes selections from the other curators principally responsible for the collections of 20th- and 21st-century art at the Museum.
