The New American Painting, traveling exhibition, was a landmark survey of modern American painting which toured eight European countries from 1958-1959. Organized by the International Program at the Museum of Modern Art, it was the first-full scale exhibition prepared for circulation outside of the United States to also be shown at the Museum itself.[1]

Organized by curator Dorothy Canning Miller with the assistance from then museum colleague Frank O’Hara[2], the New American Painting exhibition showcased eighty-one paintings by seventeen artists.[3] Considered as one of Miller’s most influential exhibitions, The New American Painting tour significantly changed European perceptions of American art.[4]
