Enlightened sighs and cheerful debate float among the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth’s collection of 2,600 postwar works, which include abstract paintings and sculptures alongside photographs, print, and film installations. Members engage in staring contests with undefeated color squares as they explore current exhibitions such as the Richard Diebenkorn: The Ocean Park Series , running until January 15. Spanning two decades described in 75 paintings and prints, the exhibit highlights the artist’s subtle and intricate odysseys through hue and composition. Upcoming exhibitions include Glenn Ligon: America , opening February 12, which treats eyes to a midcareer retrospective encompassing more than 100 paintings, photographs, installations, and recent neon reliefs. Current rotating exhibits of the permanent collection showcase panoply movements and the aftermath of paintbrush warfare in abstract expressionism, pop art, and minimalism.
Associate-level members gain access to exclusive events such as cocktail receptions. Members also receive discounts on tickets to music performances and film events. Explore globally inspired plates prepared with seasonal and local ingredients at Café Modern, or browse the gift shop’s menagerie of in-captivity books, artist-inspired dinnerware, home décor, and colorful puzzles. Friday film showings present panoply independent films, HBO documentaries, and broadcasts of live theatrical performances. The Modern Art Museum’s building spreads an airy miracle of contemporary design across five glass-walled pavilions on a 1.5-acre pond, gathering guests on two floors and 53,000 feet of gallery space.
