Pop to Present: American Art from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts celebrates and amplifies the plural artistic voices of the United States. Opening with an iconic 1948 drip painting by Jackson Pollock and closing with a poignant sculptural assemblage by Alabama-based artist Thornton Dial, this landmark presentation of 52 compelling works from the world-renowned Virginia Museum of Fine Arts offers a comprehensive overview of the principal themes and styles shaping American art since 1945.
A major cultural event for Aotearoa New Zealand, this special exhibition features high-quality examples of Abstract Expressionism, Pop and Minimalism alongside richly textured paintings by Pattern and Decoration artists, hyper-detailed canvases by 1970s Photorealists, and contemporary figurative works exploring identity, power and representation. Showcasing 28 works by women, African American and Indigenous artists, Pop to Present brings together well-known names and diverse voices to provide a more inclusive account of recent American art.
