Circa 1966: Paintings and Sculpture from the Collection

September 03, 2016 - January 08, 2017 - The selection on view in this exhibition contains examples of color field painting, geometric abstraction, assemblage, and pop all styles current in the international art world of circa 1966. The wide range of art produced and collected circa 1966 is evidence of the global energies of the art market and the push by artists to explore new materials and new conceptions of space, and to push their audience toward new experiences fueled by what the New York Times art critic Holland Cotter described as “the era’s distinctive mix of earned paranoia and skeptical utopianism.”
