Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth
Cultural District · Fort Worth, Texas
The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is the oldest art museum in Texas, presenting an exemplary collection of post-World War II modern and contemporary art — Picasso, Warhol, Anselm Kiefer, Gerhard Richter, Susan Rothenberg, and many others — in Tadao Ando's spectacular building, one of the great museum structures of the twenty-first century. Ando's concrete-and-glass structure, which extends into a reflecting pool that mirrors both the building and the Texas sky, creates an architectural experience that complements the ambitious scale of the postwar works inside. The Modern's collection is particularly strong in Abstract Expressionism, Pop, Minimalism, and the conceptual and neo-expressionist movements that followed — an essential survey of the art of our era.
