Do You Know Your MoMA? 04/16/2010

How well do you know your MoMA? Above are images of works from the MoMA collection that are currently on view in the galleries. If you think you can identify the artist, title, and location of each work, please submit your answers by leaving a comment on this post. We’ll provide the answers—along with some information about each work—next Friday, along with the next Do You Know Your MoMA? challenge.

ANSWERS TO LAST WEEK’S CHALLENGE:

Was the challenge too easy this week? We have a five-way tie with Sarah, Nicholas Clayton, Doris Bremm, Natasha Savrani, and Laura Rosa (last week’s winner) all identifying the six works correctly. And Doris Bremm of Iowa City gets a shout-out for knowing that Rivera’s Jacques Lipchitz (Portrait of a Young Man) is located in Gallery 3 on the fifth floor.
