Bruce Conner (1933–2008) was one of the foremost American artists of the postwar era. Emerging from the California art scene, in which he worked for half a century, Conner’s work touches on various themes of postwar American society, from a rising consumer culture to the dread of nuclear apocalypse. Join MoMA director Glenn Lowry and curators, Stuart Comer and Laura Hoptman, for a discussion on the opening of "BRUCE CONNER: IT'S ALL TRUE." Learn more about the exhibition: http://mo.ma/1WWL4hR

"Transient Rainbow" is a 15 second-long pyrotechnic event conceived by artist Cai Guo-Qiang. It was commissioned by MoMA to celebrate the opening of its temporary home in Queens in 2002 and organized by Lilian Tone, Assistant Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture. A rainbow of fireworks crossed the East River on June 29th, 2002, mirroring the Museum’s movement from Manhattan to Queens. The Museum moved back to its home on West 53rd Street in Manhattan in 2004.
