“James Rosenquist: His American Life”

This major loan exhibition collects paintings from Rosenquist’s ‘60s heyday, the same period in which he created his unalloyed masterpiece, F-111. Like that piece, the works here offer hallucinogenic meditations on America at the zenith of its mid-century prosperity. Both critical and celebratory, these compositions reflect on a culture defined by a voracious appetite for mass consumption stimulated by advertising images.
