Alastair Sooke

Episode 30 of 30

In this final edition, the series presenter, art critic Alastair Sooke, makes his own choice from MoMA's permanent collection.

Over the last 29 editions art critic Alastair Sooke, in the company of some of the leading creatives of our age, has dived into the stunning works in the Museum of Modern Art's collection, whilst exploring what it really means 鈥渢o see鈥 art.

In this final edition, Alastair makes his own selection. And, as with several of his guests in the series, he goes for two choices. The first, a painting that bowled him over as a young visitor to MoMA, Matisse鈥檚 Red Studio, but what will the second be, and has making this series changed the way he sees art?
