MODERN ARTIFACTS 4: DRAWING COMPARISONS Introduction by Michelle Elligott "[My father] would sit at the desk in the living room in our apartment on the Upper West Side, doing drawings of each object in the show, thinking about how it fit in, where it would shine and make the most of itself…just shifting works of art in his mind and shifting them on paper."—Anne d'Harnoncourt, Director, Philadelphia Museum of Art The latest installment of an ongoing series presented in collaboration with the Museum of Modern Art Archives features selections from the sketchbooks of former MoMA director René d’Harnoncourt, whose deep reverence for individual objects is clearly evident in a series of drawings related to the 1948 exhibition “Arts of the South Seas.” Michelle Elligott has been Museum Archivist at New York’s Museum of Modern Art for the past 12 years. She coedited Art in Our Time: A Chronicle of The Museum of Modern Art, has published and lectured widely, and was recently a Fulbright Senior Scholar in Athens, Greece.
