The next level of the rotunda is
devoted to artists of 1970s—Ma-

rina Abramovic, Vito Acconci,
Ana Mendieta, Bruce Nauman,
and Robert Smithson—whose

work was deeply influential for
many of the artists who emerged
during the 1990s. Following a
loose chronological order, the

memory, voyeurism, and embo-

features a group of photographs

by artists who studied with con-
ceptual photographers Bernd and
