MOT Collection: Art for Starters

The Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo is home to around 6,100 predominantly postwar artworks. The MOT Collection exhibitions are designed to showcase these works, and exhibits are refreshed several times a year in order to present as much of the collection as possible, from different angles.　　“Art for Starters” features a range of works—including a number of new acquisitions—chosen for their connection to “firsts and beginnings” as these play out in an art context, and explores art in terms of where to begin engaging with it, via inquiries that include starting with the familiar, what it is to see a work of art for the first time, and where artworks arise from. For both first-time visitors, and those who have already viewed multiple MOT collection exhibitions, “Art for Starters” offers an opportunity to “start art,” or perhaps, to start it anew.
