What good is an art collection if a museum doesn’t shake it up once in a while? The Museum of Modern Art has increasingly been acting on this principle. With a couple of exceptions, these works have been made since 1970 by, as the title implies, artists with careers of some length. Whatever the category, everything here was made by an artist who was at least 45 — and usually quite a bit older. The painting appears in “The City,” one of the early thematic galleries, among works by Kerry James Marshall, Romare Bearden and Mr. Gehr.
