Anthony Caro's 'Midday' Sculpture at MoMA

Anthony Caro's painted steel sculpture 'Midday' from 1960 is held in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York. The work was acquired in 1974 through the Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Wiesenberger Fund. A photograph of the sculpture was taken by Wilson Santiago and is credited to The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The information was posted on artcritical on June 4, 2011, at 5:25 pm. The sculpture is a significant example of Caro's abstract work from the early 1960s. Its acquisition by MoMA underscores its importance in modern art history. The piece is made of painted steel, a material Caro frequently used. The photograph provides a visual record of the sculpture for public access.
