With 3,000 square feet filled with Rauschenberg and Warhol, Haring and Hockney, Matisse and Peter Max, this is by far the best collection of modern and contemporary art in the city. No kidding. Housed in the former Children's Museum space in West Towne Common, Art on 5th covers modern art in all its varied styles, with more than the usual touch of whimsy, as noted in the kinetic sculptures of Fredrick Prescott and the drawings of Theodore Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss. And in the short time since its opening in April 1998, our readers have voted it their favorite.
