James Rosenquist, “House of Fire II” (detail), 1982 |
This exhibition, organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, features a selection of paintings, sculptures, and works on paper from a historic gift pledged to the institution in 2010 by Emily Fisher Landau, a preeminent collector of postwar art in the United States.
“Legacy” reflects primary themes that have driven American artists since the 1960s, including the relevance of representation in the aftermath of Minimalism; gender and racial politics; and the “culture wars” of the 1980s.
This exhibition features work by some of the most influential artists of the 20th century, among them Andy Warhol, Glenn Ligon, Sherrie Levine, Agnes Martin, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, John Baldessari, Kiki Smith and Ed Ruscha.
During the preview the museum gift shop will be open for gift purchases. UNMC employees receive a member discount at the shop.
