Pop and Op
February 17 through May 4
Media Partner: Anton Publications and The Boulevard Sponsored by Merrill Lynch
With Support from Dr. Harvey R. Manes
Remember the 60's? Did you get to San Francisco for the
Summer of Love? Still got your beads and psychedelic threads?
Can you still sing every word of every Beatles hit? If
you can answer yes to any of this - or if you wish you
could - you absolutely won't want to miss our newest exhibition.
In Pop and Op we're celebrating that unparalleled, unforgettable
era, a time when artists cast their eyes toward mass-culture
and advertising art and fashioned a wholly new and accessible
look for American Art. Called Pop and Op artists, they
captured the times and the nation's new spirit with bold,
color-saturated works that looked like nothing ever seen
before.
