Modern Fine art Oxford is an art gallery established in 1965 in Oxford, England. From 1965 to 2002, it was called The Museum of Modern Art, Oxford.

The gallery presents exhibitions of modern and gimmicky art. It has a national and international reputation for quality of exhibitions, projects and commissions, which are supported by a learning and date programme with audiences in excess of 100,000 each year.[1] Funded primarily by Arts Quango England, many exhibitions, events, activities and workshops are free for visitors.

History [edit]

Modern Art Oxford's bounds at 30 Pembroke Street, Oxford were designed by the builder Harry Drinkwater and built in 1892 as a foursquare room and stores for Hanley's City Brewery.[two]

The gallery was founded by architect Trevor Dark-green in 1965.[3] With funding from the Arts Council of Great Britain, the gallery survived equally a venue for temporary exhibitions. It was widely known as MoMA Oxford, similar to other international mod art spaces such as MoMA in New York.[4]

Information technology was renamed "Modernistic Art Oxford" in 2002.[three] Adrian Searle of The Guardian commented, "Perhaps the museum bit was only ever there to confuse tourists and convince gowny bookish Oxford that mod art was worth taking seriously."[5]

Directorship [edit]

Several transitory directors oversaw the gallery until Nicholas Serota became managing director in 1973,[3] with Sandy Nairne as assistant manager. David Elliott replaced Serota in 1976.[iii]

Elliott's programme focused on media that were often ignored by bigger public galleries at the time, such as photography, architecture and graphic design. Nether Elliott's directorship, MoMA held photography exhibitions such as the Robert Doisneau Retrospective in 1992. Elliott introduced up-and-coming artists from Africa, Asia and the Soviet Union, and at various times besides held major video fine art exhibitions. His contributions also included multiple gallery renovations. He resigned his position in 1996 to get the managing director of the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, having served the longest term of whatsoever director in the history of the gallery.

Elliott'southward replacement, an American from Los Angeles, Kerry Brougher, preferred larger shows of American and European art, and, like Elliott, exhibitions focusing on film and media. In 2000, Brougher left to bring together the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C.

Brougher was replaced by Andrew Nairne, who renamed the gallery, coordinated boosted enhancements to the building, and donated the gallery's substantial library of art books and catalogues to Oxford Brookes University. He shifted the focus to exhibitions of contemporary artists, who have included Cecily Brown, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Tracey Emin, Gary Hume, Daniel Buren, Stella Vine, Sol LeWitt and Kerry James Marshall.[half-dozen] Nairne left the gallery in 2008 to take upwardly a senior managerial position at the Arts Council.

Michael Stanley assumed the directorship in Jan 2009.[vii]

David Thorp assumed interim directorship in October 2012 following the death of Michael Stanley.

Paul Hobson was appointed Director in April 2013 and took upwardly the post that September.
