#layer-wysiwyg-1936

July 15 – October 17, 2021

 

Fresh from the CMA vault, these Pop Art prints come from the transformational decade between 1966 and 1976. Andy Warhol, Marisol, Edward Ruscha, Robert Indiana, and others on view were relatable, young, witty, even glamorously gimmicky. They turned to Hollywood films, product packaging, business signage, and comic books as inspiration. This show includes visual mashups and references to L.A.’s Hollywood sign, the United States’ Bicentennial, Campbell’s soup cans, Jackie Kennedy, and mod drag racers — everything from the mundane to the absurd.
