Jake Berthot's 1998 Drawing Acquired by MoMA's Judith Rothschild Foundation Collection

A 1998 untitled pencil drawing by Jake Berthot entered the Museum of Modern Art's collection in New York. Measuring 20-1/8 by 26-1/8 inches, the work was acquired through The Judith Rothschild Foundation Contemporary Drawings Collection Gift. This acquisition was documented on artcritical.com on January 1, 2015. The drawing represents Berthot's work on paper from the late 1990s. Its inclusion in MoMA's holdings reflects institutional recognition of the artist's contributions to contemporary drawing practices. The Judith Rothschild Foundation has supported numerous acquisitions for museum collections of contemporary works on paper. Berthot's abstract compositions often explore subtle tonal variations and geometric forms. This specific piece now resides within one of the world's most significant modern art collections.
