Robert Altman
December 3, 2014–January 17, 2015
The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters
The Museum of Modern Art presents a comprehensive career retrospective of the maverick film and television director Robert Altman (1925–2006), comprising 50 programs, including theatrical features, television films, cable series, and rarely seen music videos, industrial shorts, and documentary pieces. Altman’s work over four decades, beginning in the 1970s, came to define the spirit of American independent film. His essential films include the groundbreaking anti-war satire MASH (1970); the unorthodox Western McCabe and Mrs. Miller(1971); the disaffected portrait of Bicentennial America Nashville (1975); the film noir satire The Long Goodbye (1973); the avant-garde picture 3 Women (1977); the waggish Hollywood exposé The Player (1992); the adaptation of stories by Raymond Carver Short Cuts (1993); and his final work, A Prairie Home Companion (2006), a collaboration with radio personality Garrison Keiller.
Artist Talk: Arturo Herrera
Thursday, December 4, 6:00 p.m.
The Celeste Bartos Theater, mezzanine, The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Building
Arturo Herrera, whose work includes collage, felt wall sculptures, and wall paintings, discusses his relationship to Matisse’s legacy and the technique of the cut-out. This talk builds on Herrera’s assertion that cutting allows for active engagement with art history: “The act of cutting in order to reconfigure, to create new images, is a new, kind of mixed process, because even though I’m indebted to modernism, I need to address in which ways modernism failed and succeeded.” This program is free, but tickets are required and can be reserved on MoMA.org. Presented in conjunction with MoMA Studio: Beyond the Cut-Out.
Henri Matisse’s Cut-Outs: A Discussion
Wednesday, December 10, 6:00 p.m.
The Celeste Bartos Theater, mezzanine, The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Building
Organized in conjunction with the exhibition Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs, this panel discussion addresses the final chapter in Matisse’s career, when he created colorful compositions from cut paper that came to be known as cut-outs. Leading Matisse scholars, including John Elderfield and Todd Cronan, explore central works in the exhibition and consider Matisse’s lasting influence on artistic practice. Curator Jodi Hauptman moderates. Tickets are required for this program, and will be available on MoMA.org and on-site on November 10.
Modern Photographs from the Thomas Walther Collection,

The Edward Steichen Photography Galleries, third floor
Press Viewing Hour: Wednesday, December 10, 2014, 9:30–10:30 a.m.
In 2001, MoMA acquired over 300 photographs from Thomas Walther’s private collection, featuring iconic works by such seminal figures as Berenice Abbott, Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Florence Henri, André Kertész, Germaine Krull, El Lissitzky, Lucia Moholy, László Moholy-Nagy, Aleksandr Rodchenko, Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, and Edward Weston, along with lesser-known treasures by more than 100 others. This exhibition of nearly 250 works is the first full-scale presentation of this remarkable group of images at MoMA. Made on the street and in the studio, intended for avant-garde exhibitions or the printed page, these objects provide unique insight into the radical intentions of their creators.
The Forever Now: Contemporary Painting in an Atemporal World
December 14, 2014–April 5, 2015
The International Council of The Museum of Modern Art Gallery, sixth floor
Press Preview: Monday, December 8, 2014, 9:30–11:30 a.m.
The Forever Now presents the work of 17 artists whose paintings reflect a singular approach that characterizes our cultural moment at the beginning of this new millennium: they refuse to allow us to define, or even meter our time by them. This phenomenon in culture was first identified by the science fiction writer William Gibson, who used the term “a-temporality” to describe a cultural product of our moment that paradoxically doesn’t represent, through style, through content, or through medium, the time from which it comes. A-temporality, or timelessness, manifests itself in painting as an ahistorical free-for-all, where contemporaneity as an indicator of new form is nowhere to be found, and all eras coexist. The exhibition includes works by Richard Aldrich, Joe Bradley, Kerstin Brätsch, Matt Connors, Michaela Eichwald, Nicole Eisenman, Mark Grotjahn, Charline von Heyl, Rashid Johnson, Julie Mehretu, Dianna Molzan, Oscar Murillo, Laura Owens, Amy Sillman, Josh Smith, Mary Weatherford, and Michael Williams.
