IfWeCouldImagine Hero 1 1722x1080

If we could imagine featured paintings, sculptures, and photography from the 1960s through the 1980s by American and European artists. Sharing an interest in unconventional materials, irreverence for traditional artistic boundaries, and curiosity about viewer perception, these artists at times aligned their practice with disparate ideas and movements such as Process Art, Conceptual Art, and Arte Povera. The exhibition borrows its title from Mel Bochner’s 1969 work Imagine the Enclosed Area Blue (1-4), reflecting the sense of wonder that viewers experience when confronting radical art of this period.
