30 Years: Art in the Present Tense

30 Years: Art in the Present Tense is documented proof of the success of Larry Aldrich’s experiment, begun in 1964, aimed at establishing a museum in this country dedicated exclusively to the timely presentation of new art and emerging talent. 30 Years: Art in the Present Tense has truly been three decades in the making.
