Color Chart at MOMA

Color Chart: Reinventing Color, 1950 to Today is another of MOMA's really comprehensive exhibit websites.

There are several ways of looking at the exhibit, not all of them immediately apparent. For instance, you might think that "Listen to the audio tour: Full program" is a link to audio files. But, no, it's a link to a slide show which shows 17 slides with audio, most with commentary by the curator, and some by the artists. The link to "Download audio clips" takes you to a list of the audio clips from the slide show with tiny images of the pictures on the slides. This is not the way to go. And the link to the online exhibition on this page is a bad link.

Clicking on the link at the top of this post takes you to the main online website. From there, you can view the works by artist, medium, or timeline, and also see four installation videos. One word of warning - if you look at enlarged images, be sure to click to get back to the list of artists, etc., or you'll be starting over from the beginning.

MOMA has a pretty good presence on YouTube. The following video is one I found there of the the artist Niele Toroni painting his contribution to the exhibit. The video on the website is better quality.
