overview : Founded in 1939 as the Modern Art Society by three visionary women in Cincinnati, the Contemporary Arts Center was one of the first institutions in the U.S. dedicated to exhibiting the art of our time. Throughout its distinguished 63-year history, the Center has earned a reputation for provoking thought and introducing new ideas by presenting the work of diverse artists from around the world working in various media. The Center established itself as a leader in 1940 as one of the first American institutions to exhibit Picassos Guernica and has continued this pioneering tradition by featuring the work of hundreds of now-famous artists early in their careers including Laurie Anderson, Jasper Johns, Louise Nevelson, Nam June Paik, I.M. Pei, Robert Rauschenberg, Kara Walker and Andy Warhol.
collections : The Contemporary Arts Center recently launched its new Web site, fully integrating the Centers online presence with its new home, the Lois & Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art, opening May 31, 2003.
