What Avant-Garde Was
May 1-August 9, 2009

Drawn from the Mead’s rich collections, this installation explores American art from the 1960s to the 1990s with an eye toward cutting edge movements, such as Color-Field Painting and Pop Art, among others. Highlights of the installation include Joseph Albers’ Homage to the Square (1964), Frank Stella’s Of Whales in Paint, in Teeth, &c. (1991), Joseph Cornell’s Untitled (Hotel de l’Etoile: Grand Hotel Fontaine, 1953–1955) and Judy Chicago’s Emily Dickinson Plate (Study, 1977–1978).
