Masterpieces from Cézanne, Dalí, Duchamp, Koons, Matisse, Picasso, Pollock, Rothko, Lichtenstein and van Gogh will for the first time leave New York’s Museum of Modern Art bound for Melbourne.

The exhibition – Masterworks from MoMA, at the National Gallery of Victoria in 2018 will feature Van Gogh’s Portrait of Joseph Roulin, Salvador Dali’s The Persistence of Memory and Roy Lichtenstein’s Drowning Girl.

The NGV will be the sole international venue for the exhibition, which will include renowned art and design from a roll call of iconic figures including Paul Cézanne, Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp, Edward Hopper, Jeff Koons, Henri Matisse, Piet Mondrian, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Lyubov Popova, Mark Rothko and Vincent van Gogh.

This exhibition will feature around 150 works including some never-before-seen in Australia, and is the largest instalment of the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces series, for the first time traversing the entire ground floor of NGV International.

A multi-disciplinary approach to the exhibition display will see paintings and sculpture exhibited alongside drawings, prints, photographs, furniture, design objects, graphic design and architecture.

The exhibition will explore the emergence and development of major art movements and represent more than 130 years of radical artistic innovation. It will also reflect the wider technological, social and political developments that transformed society over the twentieth century, and which contributed to the formation of our twenty-first century globalised world.

The exhibition will reveal the ways in which artists have sought to be agents of change, transforming society and creating new worlds through their work, demonstrating how the development of new materials and technology has enabled artists to realise their visions in inventive ways.
