Rene d'Harnoncourt served as the Director of The Museum of Modern Art from 1949 to 1968, and his interest in non-Western and non-Modern art shaped much of MoMA's ambitious programming in the mid-20th century. This publication delves deep into the MoMA Archives to reveal d'Harnoncourt's mastery of installation through an essay by Michelle Elligott and an exploration of twelve of the exhibitions he installed at MoMA, each richly illustrated by d'Harnoncourt's own sketches - many of them previously unpublished - alongside exhibition photographs. An illustrated chronology of d'Harnoncourt's life rounds out the volume, detailing his multifaceted journey from birth as a Count into a landowning family in Austria, to his time as a commercial artist in Mexico, to his post working for Nelson A. Rockefeller in the U.S. State Department, which eventually led to his appointment at MoMA.
