Twenty-seven well-known artworks from MoMA’s collection, including those by artists Frida Kahlo, Henri Matisse and Georgia O’Keeffe, are available on the Samsung Art Store today, exclusively to The Frame by Samsung, a best-selling Lifestyle TV that doubles as a piece of art. When it’s on, use The Frame to watch your favorite movies and shows in brilliant 4K resolution. When it’s off, explore the Samsung Art Store to transform any space in your home with a vast catalog of artworks that are handpicked and curated from hundreds of institutions, artists and collectors around the world.

 

MoMA was founded in 1929 by three progressive women who championed modern and contemporary art and wanted to establish a museum that could be a catalyst for experimentation, learning and creativity. In collaboration with MoMA, the Samsung Art Store includes highlights from MoMA’s collection that were selected by Daria Greene, Global Curator of the Samsung Art Store, to honor the institution’s history and vision, and includes Frida Kahlo’s “Fulang Chang and I” (1937), which is the first artwork by the legendary Mexican artist to arrive on the platform.

“MoMA is a place that fuels creativity, ignites minds and provides inspiration. Through our relationship with Samsung, we are broadening access to MoMA’s collection in a truly innovative way to millions of people,” said Robin Sayetta, Head of Business Development at The Museum of Modern Art. “We were purposeful in building this new digital collection and hope to enrich the lives of art enthusiasts with culture and history at an extraordinary scale.”
