June 19–August 28, 2016
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of MoMA PS1, which was established in a former school building in Queens in 1976, the museum invited back its founding director Alanna Heiss to organize a show paying tribute to its inaugural exhibition, Rooms. Titled FORTY (2016), the show brought together the work of about forty artists, each of whom had been instrumental to the institution’s early years and many of whom had also participated in Rooms (1976).
FORTY features work by Cecile Abish, Laurie Anderson, Carl Andre, Richard Artschwager, John Baldessari, Jennifer Bartlett, Lynda Benglis, James Bishop, Daniel Buren, Colette, Ron Gorchov, Dan Graham, Robert Grosvenor, Marcia Hafif, David Hammons, Jene Highstein, Nancy Holt, Bill Jensen, Richard “Dickie” Landry, Barry Le Va, Sol LeWitt, Gordon Matta-Clark, John McCracken, Mary Miss, Max Neuhaus, Richard Nonas, Brian O’Doherty, Dennis Oppenheim, Nam June Paik, Howardena Pindell, Robert Ryman, Alan Saret, Joel Shapiro, Judith Shea, Charles Simonds, Keith Sonnier, Pat Steir, Michelle Stuart, Lawrence Weiner, Doug Wheeler, Jackie Winsor, and Robert Yasuda.
