As MOMA continues to investigate the origins and fate of the ‘modern’, the Guggenheim weighs in with its own exploration focused on the dawn of the last century, particularly in Paris’1900 World’s Fair. Over 250 works on display explore the clash between classical academic painting and the various strains of the avant-garde emerging in Europe at the time, providing an exhaustive and compelling survey that takes in everyone from Degas, Cezanne, Monet and Rodin to Munch, Klimt, Mondrian, Kandinsky, Matisse and Picasso.
