Samantha Friedman, associate curator in the Department of Drawings and Prints, talks about the pair of Kusama works featured in the exhibition Degree Zero: Drawing at Midcentury.

In keeping with the theme of Degree Zero, which highlights artists’ use of drawing to forge new visual languages, we pay tribute to Jason Polan, whose drawings captured the life and art of New York City in new and exciting ways. Jason drew over 30,000 New Yorkers—including many MoMA visitors—as well as every piece of art on view in the Museum. Read a tribute to Jason’s life on Magazine.
