Abstract

In the Summer of 1984 the Library of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, re-opened in a purpose-designed space, following the expansion and renovation of the Museum by Cesar Pelli. This article traces the history of the Library from its origin at the foundation of the Museum in 1929, to date, and describes the scope of the present collection and some of its particular strengths.
