Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden
The Fifties: Aspects of Painting in New York
May 22, 1980 – September 21, 1980
Included in an exhibition that reassesses a critical decade in American art are 67 works by 33 artists. Works are arranged chronologically, rather than stylistically, to re-create a sense of the overlapping developments occurring at that time.
Among the artists are pioneers of the "New York School"—de Kooning, Kline & Pollock—as well as Robert Rauschenberg, Helen Frankenthaler, Hans Hofmann, and Robert Motherwell.
Exhibit occupies more than half of the Third Floor.
