Über uns
The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is a leader in collecting, showing, and interpreting art from the 1940s to the present. Situated in the heart of the Cultural District, the creative center of the city, the Modern has been housed since 2002 in an elegant concrete, glass, and steel building designed by the renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando. In addition to 53,000 square feet of soaring, light-filled gallery space and landscaped grounds with outdoor sculptures, the museum features a reflecting pond, theater, education center, gift shop, and café, creating a thriving hub for our community and beyond. Founded in 1892, the Modern is the oldest museum in Texas; however, our mission has changed over the years. Today, we strive to connect audiences of all ages and backgrounds with the most compelling art and ideas of our time. Showcasing the work of historically significant, mid-career, and emerging artists, the Modern is known for its evolving collection, which is international in scope. The Museum’s holdings include influential artists from Pablo Picasso, Philip Guston, Anselm Kiefer, Martin Puryear, and Agnes Martin to Mark Bradford, Teresita Fernández, Njideka Akunyili Crosby, and Kehinde Wiley. We have a long history of close relationships with the living artists we show and collect, many of whom visit the museum regularly to give talks and lead workshops. The Modern is a center of lifelong learning and exchange. Our programs include tours, lectures by leading figures in the art world, youth and adult classes, art camps, workshops, and a range of small-group studio and gallery programs led by the Museum's educators, docents, and community artists. We also present critically acclaimed first-run films and partner with other local arts organizations to offer music, dance, and theater.

Bernhard "Bernd" Becher, a German artist best known for his collaborative work with his wife, Hilla, was born #OnThisDay in 1931. For more than fifty years, the Bechers collaborated on a project to photograph the architectural structures of Europe’s and North America’s declining industrial landscape, including grain elevators, silos, gas tanks, and blast furnaces. The Modern owns five images from the Bechers’ water tower series, a body of work that exemplifies the artists’ pursuit of objectivity through a dispassionate, systemic approach to photography. Plan your visit—these photographs are currently on view in the Modern’s first-floor galleries. ___ Artwork (from left to right): [1] “Maisoncelles, Seine et Marne, France,” 1972. [2] “Bochum, Germany,” 1980/1992. [3] “Water Tower, Dortmund-Grevel Germany,” 1965/1993. [4] “Béziers, Hérault, France,” 1984. [5] “Water Tower, Macedonia, Ohio, USA,” 1982. Gelatin silver print. 24 x 20 inches unframed. Collection of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Museum purchase made possible by a grant from The Burnett Foundation. © Estate of Bernd & Hilla Becher, represented by Max Becher #BerndandHillaBecher #Photography

Today we celebrate #WorldPhotographyDay by highlighting the upcoming special photography exhibition, “Diaries of Home.” On view from November 17, 2024, through February 2, 2025, “Diaries of Home” features works by twelve women and nonbinary artists, who explore the multilayered concepts of family, community, and home. These artists challenge documentary photography by pushing it into conceptual, performative, and theatrical realms. They probe preconceptions about domestic, familial, and communal spaces in the United States, which are often considered feminine spheres. This exhibition features a diverse, multi-generational group of artists with a variety of photographic processes, ranging from printed images to slides and video. Artists Patty Chang, Jess T. Dugan, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Nan Goldin, Debbie Grossman, Letitia Huckaby, Deana Lawson, Laura Letinsky, Sally Mann, Arlene Mejorado, Laurie Simmons, and Carrie Mae Weems use themselves and others as center points to explore various social relations in and outside of the home. The resulting imagery gives shape to “Diaries of Home” and captures the psychological interiority, the complex family dynamics, and the inconsequential and profound moments of daily routine—all aspects that compose a life’s journey.

This is it! “Rebecca Manson: Barbecue” closes in one week, on Sunday, August 25. Artist Rebecca Manson is seen here walking through her site-responsive installation. This work is made up of thousands of individually crafted ceramic leaves, flowers, a barbecue grill, and assorted debris—elements of a summer barbecue mixed into an autumnal scene. Mounds of leaves, some standing nearly eight feet tall, are piled against the walls, creating a path that allows visitors to explore the space. This must-see exhibition is best viewed in person. Plan your visit today to experience “Barbecue” in the Modern’s first-floor elliptical gallery. ___ Artwork: Rebecca Manson, “Barbecue” (details), 2024. Porcelain, glaze, steel, adhesives, and glass.

Explore all the textures in “Rebecca Manson: Barbecue.” View pieces that seem to be made of cloth, metal, and other materials but are actually comprised of thousands of individual clay and glass elements. This exhibition, which is best viewed in person, defies viewers’ expectations of what clay can do by pushing the material to its most fragile and muscular places. Plan your visit now to see this site-responsive installation in the Modern’s first-floor elliptical gallery before it closes on Sunday, August 25. ___ Artwork: Rebecca Manson, “Barbecue” (detail), 2024.
