The album Modern Art is basically something very unique, a kind of “Hear And Now” unplugged concert recorded at the Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm. It is unclear if any other recordings from the ”Hear And Now” era survived. If not, then this album is a once-in-the-life opportunity to experience.
