MUSEUM MAMAS:
THE MAKING OF MOMA
Who dares to open a museum of modern art as the world
teeters on the brink of a depression? Credentials, degrees,
professional status, artistic skills…none required. And yet,
MOMA comes into existence because of a generation of women
who willed it to be. Discover the power of a determined few;
Rockefeller, Bliss, Sullivan and Guggenheim, and the list goes
on. Although, many names are not recognizable, it is this
collection of women who bore the mantle of responsibility to
build and curate the world-class collection that is MOMA today.

VIVA LA VIDA: THE LIFE AND WORK
OF FRIDA KAHLO
Frida Kahlo’s passionate interest in the cultures of Mexico
served as a backdrop for her idiosyncratic and intensely
autobiographical body of work. Fueled by a series of tragedies
in her life, she created a series of complex and often disturbing
images of herself. Yet she also created lush, fantastic imagery in
her works, serving to create a powerfully complex personal style
that is one of the most original and dramatic of the 20th century.
