The exhibition foregrounds a lesser-known chapter in the museum’s past, the role of British curator and critic Lawrence Alloway, who introduced Pop art to American audiences through the 1963 Guggenheim exhibition Six Painters and the Object, the first museum presentation of Pop art in New York. The show presents iconic works from the museum’s collection by more than 20 artists, including John Chamberlain, Chryssa, Jim Dine, Roy Lichtenstein, Lucas Samaras, and Andy Warhol. Highlights will include Maurizio Cattelan’s Comedian (2019) and Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen’s Soft Shuttlecock (1995), on view in New York for the first time in 25 years. These works will be shown alongside Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirrored Room – Dancing Lights That Flew Up To The Universe (2019), a major loan to the exhibition, and recent acquisitions by contemporary artists such as Farah Al Qasimi, Alex Da Corte, Lucia Hierro, Martine Gutierrez, Lauren Halsey, Mohammed Ahmed Ibrahim, Yee I-Lann, Cara Romero, and Liu Shiyuan, whose practices expand the legacies of Pop. Bringing together both historical and contemporary perspectives, the exhibition will illustrate how Pop renders the familiar strange, elevates the commercial to the sacred, and transforms the banal into the spectacular, redefining what art could be from the 1960s to the present. This exhibition is organized by Lauren Hinkson, Curator, Collections, with support from Victoria Horrocks, Curatorial Fellow, Photography, and Faith Hunter, Curatorial Assistant.
