artistic movements from the late 19th century to the present, including
masterworks by Umberto Boccioni, Louise Bourgeois, Alexander Calder, Paul
Cézanne, Marc Chagall, Giorgio de Chirico, Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp, Paul
Gauguin, Natalia Goncharova, Frida Kahlo, Vasily Kandinsky, Georgia O'Keeffe,

Rodin, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Vincent van Gogh, and Andy Warhol, among others.*
These selections will join two other collections that MoMA has shared through
ARTstor for scholarly and educational use: the Architecture and Design
Collection and the Exhibition Installation Photograph Collection from The
Museum of Modern Art Archives. Please see www.artstor.org
