Completed in 1921, it became the first home of the Museum of Modern Art—from 1929 to 1932. Under the guidance of Abby Aldrich Rockefeller and Director Alfred H. Barr Jr., some of the most influential exhibitions in the museum’s history were staged during that three-year tenure within Aman New York, including the prominent Modern Architecture exhibit.
Aman New York will soon undergo a monumental transformation that will see it restored and imbued with the spirit of Aman, signaling a new chapter ahead of its centenary in 2020.
