Modern and Contemporary Art
Because of its location in the heart of Florida, PMoA's collection of
Modern and Contemporary Art began with a focus on art made within the state;
either by Floridians or made within Florida by transplants and visiting
artists. The artists represented in the PMoA collection mirror the great diversity within
the statewide population, including works by Cuban-American and other Latino artists,
African-American artists, and Asian-American artists.
As the aspirations and stature of
PMoA have risen since 1983, the scope of the collection has increased to include
works by nationally and internationally recognized artists and Florida artists whose work meets the highest
standards of artistic competency. Additionally, PMoA houses a major
collection of works by artists of the Pattern and Decoration movement. More recently PMoA has
expanded its collection to include works by major artists throughout the modern era.
