Learn About Modern Art

From impressionism through abstract expressionism to conceptual art — explore the movements that broke with tradition and redefined what art could be in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain" (1917), a porcelain urinal signed "R. Mutt" and submitted to an art exhibition, challenged every assumption about what constitutes art and is frequently voted the most influential artwork of the 20th century. Jackson Pollock's drip paintings of the late 1940s, created by pouring and flinging paint onto canvases laid on the floor, made New York the center of the art world, displacing Paris for the first time. Andy Warhol's "Shot Sage Blue Marilyn" (1964) sold for $195 million at Christie's in May 2022, becoming the most expensive American artwork ever auctioned and demonstrating the extraordinary valuations modern art can command.
