Gallery?

[edit]

What's the point of the gallery? These are just five random paintings which were briefly on display at the Met Breuer seemingly all from the same exhibition (Unfinished: Thoughts Left Visible) -- I'm not sure what the benefit to this gallery is since they aren't representative of all of the art which has ever been on display there.

Art museum articles nearly always have a gallery showing notable works held/exhibited there. They can almost never depict modern art, as that is usually still in copyright. Can you suggest any images to diversify the gallery? ɱ (talk) 16:36, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well since this is the article for the Met Breuer I'm not sure what the benefit of having five paintings that are just in the Met's collection which were all from only one exhibition and only at the Met Breuer for five and a half months. Seeing The Baptism of Christ tells me nothing about the Met Breuer, especially without a caption or indication which exhibition it's from. The Met Breuer did not have its own permanent collection distinct from the Met -- do you happen to know of Wikipedia articles for similar museums with galleries? I think if we wanted to have photographs I'd prefer to exhibition views of artwork in the gallery space interacting with the architecture of the building / each other, as that's something specific to the Met Breuer not just the Met's collection. And there were other exhibitions with work out of copyright besides Unfinished, e.g., Like Life, Munch, Obsession, Vessel Orchestra. Umimmak (talk) 18:45, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
