Hi All Traveling this summer? In Detroit? Catch !!! From Camelot to Kent State; Pop Art, 1960-1975 @ the Detroit Institute of Arts.
From Camelot to Kent State: Pop Art, 1960-1975
In the 1960s, a new generation of artists became known as Pop artists, based on their use of popular mass media—advertisements, logos, comic strips, and television. Playfully embracing new technologies, and working with master printers and publishers, Pop artists created large editions of fine-art prints.
At the beginning of the decade, many Pop artists celebrated American modern culture, echoing the optimism under the young President John F. Kennedy, a time often called “Camelot.” As the decade unfolded, more artists turned to criticism of the Vietnam War and tragedies such as the shooting at Kent State University in 1970.
From Camelot to Kent State: Pop Art, 1960-1975, includes seventy-three prints, drawings, multiples, and sculpture primarily from the DIA collection. It highlights artists including Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Marisol, Corita Kent, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, and Andy Warhol.
From Camelot to Kent State: Pop Art, 1960-1975 is organized by the Detroit Institute of Arts.

Hi All 20th Century & Contemporary Art Sale Up for Sale June 28th! Get your paddles Ready
Phillips Announces Highlights from the London Sales of
20th Century & Contemporary Art
Including Works from the Miles & Shirley Fiterman Collection;
Property from the Collection of Alex Rodriguez;
And Property from the Estate of Ryan Brant
As well as a Historically Important Luc Tuymans Painting
Luc Tuymans b. 1958
Schwarzheide, 1986
Estimate: £800,000-1,000,000
LONDON – 14 JUNE 2019 – Phillips’ June sales of 20th Century & Contemporary Art will offer works from a number of private collections, including the Miles & Shirley Fiterman Collection, property from the Estate of Ryan Brant, and property from the collection of American baseball star Alex Rodriguez. The Evening Sale, taking place on 27 June, will present 36 lots of Modern, Post-War, and Contemporary Art, and will be followed by the Day Sale on 28 June, comprising 160 lots.
Luc Tuymans’s Schwarzheide, 1986, leads this season’s Evening Sale with unparalleled conceptual and historical significance. The painting – essentially a landscape depicting a line of sparse pine trees – appears to present an innocuous subject. However, taking its name after a World War II concentration camp, Schwarzheide belongs to a cycle of works that Tuymans commenced in the latter half of the 1980s, touching on themes of loss and violence in the context of the Holocaust. Tuymans has said of the work, “I wanted to make my paintings look old from the start, which is important because they are about memory.”Having resided in the same private collection since its execution, the work has been exhibited extensively over the last three decades, including showings at Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, The Tate Modern in London, the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery, and at Documenta IX in Kassel in 1992. It has recently been reproduced as an immense marble mosaic at the Palazzo Grassi, Venice, on the occasion of the artist’s solo exhibition La Pelle.

Worth a trip to to see "The Van Gogh and the Sunflowers" at the Van Gogh Museum June 12-September 1 2019! Book your tickets !!!
Creditline: Vincent van Gogh, Sunflowers (detail), 1889. Oil on canvas, 95 × 73 cm. Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (Vincent van Gogh Foundation).
If you have already registered for this opening, please find this email as not sent.
Dear journalist,
We are pleased to invite you to the press preview of Van Gogh and the Sunflowers.
Sunflowers (1889), one of Vincent van Gogh’s best-known paintings, will be the centrepiece of the summer exhibition Van Gogh and the Sunflowers. The presentation will highlight the flower’s significance to the painter and what he hoped to achieve with his Sunflowers. Van Gogh himself thought that this work was among the best things he had done.
A great deal of study has been devoted to the masterpiece from the Van Gogh Museum’s collection in recent years. The exhibition will show what the latest technical research has contributed to our knowledge of Van Gogh’s working methods, the discolouration of certain pigments and the painting’s conservation history and current condition. The public will also have a first opportunity to see the back of the masterpiece, including the wooden strip that Van Gogh himself added to create more space for the sunflowers.
