November 6
Michael Auping, the Modern’s Chief Curator, brings Declaring Space: Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Lucio Fontana, Yves Klein to Fort Worth. The works created by these artists had a dramatic effect on the complex development of space and color in abstract painting as it evolved in the years following World War II. For Tuesday Evenings Auping provides insight into these artists’ profound influence on a set of spatial themes evoked in abstract art in the latter half of the twentieth century, which led to the engagement of what Auping terms as “a new realm of abstract theater.”

Tuesday Evening Cocktails and Light Bites
Guests can enjoy refreshments from 5 to 7 pm in Café Modern before the Tuesday Evenings lecture series. Choose from Café Modern’s unique Modern cocktail menu or distinctive wine list. Coffee, tea, and light snacks are also available.
