You say MOMA I say MIMA

MIMA from the park

 After a few months of delay Middlesbrough’s new institute of modern art is due to open on Saturday 27 January 2007. 

MIMA’s inaugural exhibition, Draw: Conversations Around the Legacy of Drawing, features a selection of sketches and drawings from some of the most influential and revolutionary artists of the 20th Century.

With pieces from Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Henri Matisse, Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst, there is something to grab both seasoned art connoisseurs and those that don’t know their Monet from their Manet.

A spectacular opening piece from abstract artist DJ Simpson and rare sketches from Damien Hirst and Pablo Picasso are without doubt the highlights of the MIMA experience, but it wouldn’t be right to reveal anymore and ruin the surprise – you’ll just have to go along to the sneak preview exhibition on Saturday 27th January between 5.30pm and 9pm to find out for yourself.
