Dancer, choreographer, and filmmaker Yvonne Rainer is one of the most influential artistic figures of the last 50 years. Yvonne Rainer: Dances and Films includes an array of photographs, scores, journals, and posters, as well as a complete retrospective of Rainer's films.

Szeemann kept extensive records on figures such as Joseph Beuys, James Lee Byars, Christo, and Mario Merz. This portion of the archive was processed with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

PUBLICATION

 



The Colors of the New World

Diana Magaloni Kerpel
The Florentine Codex is the single most important artistic and historical document for studying the peoples and cultures of pre-Hispanic and colonial Central Mexico, reflecting both indigenous and Spanish traditions of writing and painting. The Colors of the New World reveals the complex meanings inherent in the selection of the pigments used in the manuscript and offers a fascinating look into a previously hidden symbolic language.
