A Wonderful Introduction To A Great Museum

This book is essentially a "handbook" to the museum's collection. As such, it is similar to handbooks for the Getty Museum and The Art Institute of Chicago. The reproductions are very good in terms of color and clarity and the quality of the paper is also perfectly acceptable. My only quibble with the book is that it seems weighted toward post-WWII artwork. I would have preferred more artwork from the early days of modernism. However, this is a matter of personal taste. Regardless if you have never been to MOMA, this book is well worth looking at and is an excellent value for the price.
