  • Sunrise a Tribute to Our Founders
    Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland Sunrise A Tribute to Our Founders Sunrise: A Tribute to Our Founders March 15 – August 11, 2019 Sunrise pays homage to our founders, Marjorie Talalay, Nina Sundell, and Mueller Family Gallery Agnes Gund, through artworks that speak to their passions and pursuits. The title references the logo of The New Gallery (moCa’s original name) Organized by Jill Snyder, that was designed by Roy Lichtenstein. A sun rising above a dotted plane Kohl Executive Director with graphic rays fanning through the sky, the logo was a metaphor for the with Kate Montlack, organization, suggesting the vitality and potential of contemporary art. Assistant Director of Exhibitions For this exhibition we invited the daughters of our founders to select works in honor of their mothers. This exhibition represents some of the 20th century’s most influential artists, and each previously has been shown at moCa. Agnes, together with her daughter Catherine, selected sculptural works by three female artists who reinforce her support for the early careers of women artists. Margaret Sundell chose works that reflect her late mother Nina’s professional relationship with Robert Rauschenberg and her embrace of his desire to work in the gap between art and life. Kathy, Nina, and Lauren Talalay’s choices represent meaningful professional and personal moments in their late mother Marjorie’s career as moCa’s longest serving Executive Director (1968–1993). Shown on the cover, Lichtenstein’s logo signals our vanguard legacy. Andy Warhol’s garishly hued portrait of China’s revolutionary leader, (Mao, 1972), Robert Rauschenberg’s collage of American trauma and triumph in the sixties (Signs, 1970), and Lynda Benglis’s vulvar minimalist sculpture (Lagniappe II Major support for this Glitter, 1977) reflect the sociopolitical climate of The New Gallery’s early exhibition provided by years.
