Ed Ruscha: A Journey Through American Pop Art

Museum of Modern Art, September 10, 2023 – January 13, 2024

Ed Ruscha is a name synonymous with American Pop Art. His career, spanning over six decades, takes center stage in a retrospective at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. In collaboration with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the exhibition boasts over 200 pieces. It’s a kaleidoscope that includes everything from Ruscha’s iconic text-driven landscapes to surprising experiments with materials like chocolate and gunpowder. Ruscha’s route to fame began with a move from Oklahoma to LA in 1956, and his artistic language has been deeply influenced by American culture ever since.

Ruth Asawa, mostly renowned for her wire sculptures, is also a prolific drawer. The Whitney Museum, in conjunction with the Menil Collection, displays over 100 of her works on paper. The exhibit, suitably named “Through Line,” takes you through decades of Asawa’s life. From her formative years at Black Mountain College to her role as an educator, Asawa’s work invites us to find the extraordinary in the everyday.

In a first-of-its-kind exhibition, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum partners with the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Korea to spotlight the audacious artists who molded Korean contemporary art. Titled “Only the Young,” the exhibition is a powerful narrative of Korean art and society, featuring trailblazers like Ha Chong-Hyun and Lee Kang-so. Expect an awe-inspiring assortment of photography, sculpture, performance art, and more.

Other notable exhibitions include “Shary Boyle: Outside the Palace of Me” at the Museum of Arts and Design, which offers a whirlwind of collaborations from robotics to costume design. “María Magdalena Campos-Pons: Behold” at the Brooklyn Museum explores the dynamics of migration and colonialism through multimedia. Meanwhile, “Barkley L. Hendricks: Portraits at the Frick” and “Manet/Degas” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art offer deep dives into portraiture and the history of art, respectively.
