Collection of works by Van Gogh, Picasso, Pollock and Warhol

"The Rope Dancer Accompanies Herself With Her Shadows" by Man Ray

Although I was slightly disappointed with the surrealist works on view, they did have a decent collection of Rene Magritte pieces that were just fantastic. There was also a room completely dedicated to the DADA movement, which was particularly interesting to me. The Schwitters and Man Ray pieces above are of that movement. In fact, I have performed Schwitters' Ursonate on several occasions, so it was very interesting to see some of his material art on view. The main exhibition at MoMA during my visit was the work of Claes Oldenburg. There were several exhibits containing works from his various periods, including a giant mouse head with hundreds of tiny knick-knacks on display as well as giant, stuffed fabric foods. I did not particularly like most of his stuff, with the exception of his early work which was collectively called "The Street." I was not allowed to take any pictures of those works, but I snagged some that I liked off the MoMA website.
