The Museum of Modern Love by Heather Rose is a work of fiction based around an exhibition, The Artist is Present, at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2010. For seventy-five days Marina Abromovic sat in a chair facing a member of the audience while other audience members watched. People queued for hours for the experience of silence with the artist.
In the novel the author examines the lives and reactions to the exhibition of a group people facing loss and or challenges in their lives. It shows how art in its various forms can affect people's lives and perhaps reconsider their actions. It is also a story about love.
