Modern Art Oxford (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Modern Art Oxford is an art gallery established in 1965 in Oxford, England. From 1965 to 2002, it was known as The Museum of Modern Art, Oxford. The Gallery was founded by architect Trevor Green. With funding from the Arts Council of Great Britain, the gallery survived as a venue for temporary exhibitions. It was widely known as MOMA Oxford, similar to other international modern art spaces such as MOMA in New York. It was renamed "Modern Art Oxford" in 2002. Adrian Searle of The Guardian commented: "Perhaps the museum bit was only ever there to confuse tourists and convince gowny academic Oxford that modern art was worth taking seriously." Several transitory directors oversaw the gallery until Nicholas Serota became director in 1974, with Sandy Nairne as assistant director. David Elliott replaced Serota in 1976.
