Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth

I recently went back home to Kansas City and documented my favorite spots to see contemporary art while visiting. This past weekend I traveled west again, this time to Fort Worth, Texas. My trip was short so right after landing I drove directly to the the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. I had heard great things about the building and collection, both of which ended up meeting expectations. Although I was sad that the upstairs was closed for installation (while they didn't mention it would be closed when I paid for admission, I should have known since it was "half price"), the first floor was packed with goodies. After the jump I've shared some works that caught my attention, just in case you can't make it to the Fort Worth area anytime soon. Enjoy! - Andrew Katz, Associate Publisher
