Title: On the Edge
Subtitle: Contemporary Art from the Werner and Elaine Dannheisser Collection
First published: 1997
Description: The Werner and Elaine Dannheisser Collection is a group of artworks - paintings, sculptures, drawings, videos, neons, photographs, photomontages, texts, billboards, and installations - that together provide a running account of the simultaneous attractions and provocations of contemporary art. Produced by thirty-three artists from Europe and America and dating from the 1960s to the 1990s, these works document artistic directions that are still in the process of making themselves known.

On the Edge: Contemporary Art from the Werner and Elaine Dannheisser Collection records this recent and substantial addition to the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, donated to the Museum by Elaine Dannheisser.
