Modern Art

A 3D virtual gallery of modern art. The century in which painting stopped agreeing to be a window, and started arguing with itself in public.

Every piece in this online exhibition comes from the Art Institute of Chicago's Open Access collection, released under CC0. Each label gives the artist, the date and the medium.
