Delaware Art Museum will run an exhibition named 'Exposed! — Revealing Sources in Contemporary Art' from August 15, 2009 to October 4, 2009.
Since the 1960s a wide range of artists—including Andy Warhol, Richard Prince, and Ellen Gallagher—have made pictures that reference specific works of art and popular culture.
Displaying these paintings, prints, and photographs alongside images of their sources, Exposed! explores artistic strategies of quotation and appropriation. The featured works present various relationships to their sources, from respectful homage to cultural critique.
The exhibition includes works of art by Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Prince, Jeff Koons, Robert Colescott, Grace Hartigan, Ellen Gallagher, and Glenn Ligon, among others.
The picture shows Eleanor of Aquitaine, 1983, Grace Hartigan, 1922-2008, Oil on canvas, 78 1/2 x 72 inches, Gift of Fay and Alfred Chandler, 1995. -- www.delart.org
