Glenn Ligon: AMERICA October 23, 2011–january 22, 2012 |BCAM

Glenn Ligon: AMERICA is the first midcareer retrospective of Ligon’s work in the United States. The exhibition includes unknown early material and the reconstruction of seminal bodies of work such as his Door paintings, the coal dust Stranger canvases, and the Coloring series. Over the course of his career, Ligon has worked in a variety of media, including painting, neon, installation, video, and print. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Ligon became known for work that explores race, sexuality, representation, and language, including his iconic black-and-white text-based paintings that reference the writings of noted African American authors James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, and Zora Neale Hurston.

This exhibition was organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Sponsored by

Claude Monet painted thirty views of Rouen Cathedral between 1892 and 1895 from three or four different viewing positions, all quite close to one another, at different times of day. The series stands as the hallmark of the Impressionists’ revolutionary and unprecedented artistic movement. More than six decades later, Roy Lichtenstein was inspired to paint his own Cathedral series in the style of Pop art. This exhibition of five Monets and Lichtenstein’s Rouen Cathedral (Seen at Five Different Times of the Day), Set III, unites the thematic concerns of these artists and illustrates the connection between modernism and postmodernism.

This exhibition is organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities. This exhibition features exceptional loans from the Musée d’Orsay.

Edward McKnight Kauffer, American Airlines to California, c. 1947, gift of Debbie and Mark Attanasio in memory of Martin Kaplan ASCO: Elite of the Obscure, A Retrospective, 1972–1987 Opens September 4

This is the first retrospective to present the wide-ranging work of the Chicano performance and conceptual art group Asco. Harry Gamboa Jr., Gronk, Willie Herrón, and Patssi Valdez began as a tight-knit core group of artists in East Los Angeles. Taking their name from the Spanish word for disgust and nausea, Asco set about through performance, public art, and multimedia to respond to turbulent sociopolitical periods in Los Angeles and within the larger international context. The art collective remained active until the mid-1980s, contracting and expanding to include artists and performers such as Diane Gamboa, Sean Carrillo, Humberto Sandoval, and Teddy Sandoval, among others.

This exhibition is organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Williams College Museum of Art. It is made possible in part by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Arts, Inc., the National Endowment for the Arts, and The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation.

The Los Angeles presentation and publication are made possible by grants from
