目前被安置于五层画廊中的展品更像是一种过渡时期的权宜之计,它被高度浓缩,起始于后印象派、立体主义和马蒂斯(Matisse)的经典名作,以贾斯培·琼斯(Jasper Johns)创作于1958年的《三面旗》收尾,在一路深入展览的进程中,更多非白人、非男性艺术家的作品被包含进来,显得更加多元。这是处于变化之中的馆藏品的缩影,看上去充满可能,也带着一丝孤独。
In some places you'll see MoMA trying to bend its linear view of history toward the justice, and reality, of this more complex view. But it is going to take some doing.
在一些地方你能看出,MoMA试图把自己线性的历史观朝着公正、接近现实,更为复杂的观念上靠拢。但这并不容易。
The absence of art by women in the first six galleries is breathtaking. The only exception to the unrelieved maleness is Sonia Delaunay-Terk's fiery 1915 "Portuguese Market," acquired in 1955.
MoMA的前六个展厅中,女性艺术家作品的缺失令人震惊。在男性艺术家作品包围之中,唯一的例外是索尼娅·德劳内-特克(Sonia Delaunay-Terk)创作于1915年的作品《葡萄牙集市》“Portuguese Market”,它于1955年被收入MoMA。
In the collection's next iteration, a mixing of mediums has been promised and this may help the paucity of female artists: For example, according to its collection as listed online, MoMA has no painting by Marie Laurencin, but it has several of her prints and drawings that could be installed in the new order of things. MoMA owns nothing at all, as listed online, by Gabriele Münter, a talented German expressionist painter (and Kandinsky's companion). Perhaps MoMA might sell or trade some Picassos to acquire work by female artists from this crucial"heroic" period, perhaps the biggest challenge the museum faces. Blasphemous as selling Picassos may sound, it would not only create a better balance of the sexes but also adjust the scales in a collection heavily weighted toward Picasso. (MoMA lists 1,241 Picasso works online, compared to 385 by Matisse and 46 by Braque.) And selling Picassos would not be new. A catalog of deaccessions assembled by the artist Michael Asher, indicates MoMA sold 20 Picasso paintings between 1929 and 1998.
