Abstract

In this essay, Hal Foster examines the initiative of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, an institution historically renowned as a Modernist bullwark, in confronting deep changes in the global art world and the new claims emerging from its enlarged audiences. Foster approaches what he sees as the accomplishments in this initiative – among them, greater diversity of artists’ gender, race and region of provenience – while also pointing out its problems, such as the disallowance of art historical criteria in favor of arrangements of works based in pseudomorphisms and whimsical associations. The author remarks that changes like these have been seen in other museums throughout United States and signals the populist tenets embedded in most of them.
