 Even those with only a passing interest in art are familiar with many of
the artists whose works are on display at MoMA: Claude Monet,
Vincent van Gogh, Andy Warhol, Frida Kahlo, Pablo Picasso, and
Jackson Pollock, to name a very few.
Not only confined to paintings, the museum’s collection represents a
variety of media, such as sculpture, photography, drawing, film,
architecture, printmaking, design, and even performance art. MoMA’s
website alone has nearly 60,000 pieces created by nearly 10,000 artists.
Mr. Buckner and other members of MoMA support the museum
through subscriptions, donations, and gifts. A portion of the funds
from members are used to finance the museum’s award-winning
outreach programs. These programs are designed to benefit children
and adults both in New York City and around the world.
