Hammer Museum: Societe Anonyme

Before there was a museum of modern art, there was the Société Anonyme, America's first "experimental museum for modern art" founded by some of the most legendary names in avant garde art. We celebrate the exhibition with its curator, Jennifer Gross, and Ann Philbin, Director of the Hammer Museum. (All exhibitions, collections, and public programs are free of charge through Labor Day Weekend, September 3, 2006.)
