WHEN: June 14th 2024 - September 1st, 2025

Moments in Modernism showcases AGO's growing collection of modern and contemporary art. Artistic movements within the exhibition include Pop Art, Abstraction, Realism and Minimalism.   

I have only seen these pieces on pages of a textbook in high school art history class.

MY FAVOURITE PIECE

Mark Rothko. No.1 White and Red. 1962. Oil on canvas​

"I am interested only in expressing basic human emotions - tragedy, ecstasy, doom and so on.  If you...are moved only by their colour relationships, then you miss the point."

-Mark Rothko-
