Jewish Museum's 'Modern Art, Sacred Space: Motherwell, Ferber and Gottlieb' Closes

The Jewish Museum will present Modern Art, Sacred Space: Motherwell, Ferber and Gottlieb from March 14 through August 1, 2010. This new exhibition focuses on a revolutionary moment in American synagogue design. In 1951, architect Percival Goodman commissioned three avant-garde artists to create works for his Congregation B'nai Israel synagogue in Millburn, New Jersey. Robert Motherwell, Herbert Ferber, and Adolph Gottlieb - each of whom later became a prominent figure in the Abstract Expressionist movement - created, respectively, an expansive lobby mural, a monumental exterior sculpture, and a large-scale Torah curtain. Congregation B'nai Israel drew national attention as the first congregation to introduce contemporary abstract art and was heralded as an outstanding example of modern religious architecture.
