About this exhibition

About the exhibition

Organized through MoMA’s International Program, The New American Painting introduced a selection of recent American painting to audiences in eight European countries. The tour brought varied approaches to abstraction into a shared presentation. A concluding exhibition at MoMA in 1959 followed the European itinerary and is recorded separately from the individual overseas stops.
