Four Muses, 1947, oil on canvas, 30" x 36" |
A display of modern and contemporary American
and European paintings, graphics, photography and sculpture
shown with mid-20th century designer ceramics, metalwork,
glass, textiles, furniture, ephemera and kitsch.
This installation evokes the ambience of a living room
/ salon filled with art and objects past and present.
Great paintings from the mid 1930s are displayed with
kitschy “bad” 1960s art; important mid 20th century
Venetian glass is shown with Asian knick-knack ceramics;
ephemera and memorabilia are juxtaposed with artist-signed
photographs of the early Warhol social scene. The Modern
Salon show encourages viewers to articulate and evaluate
their personal tastes and formulate aesthetic judgments.
