  • Remembering Robert Venturi, a Modern Mannerist
    The Plan Journal 4 (1): 253-259, 2019 doi: 10.15274/tpj.2019.04.01.1 Remembering Robert Venturi, a Modern Mannerist In Memoriam / THEORY Maurizio Sabini After the generation of the “founders” of the Modern Movement, very few architects had the same impact that Robert Venturi had on architecture and the way we understand it in our post-modern era. Aptly so and with a virtually universal consensus, Vincent Scully called Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture (1966) “probably the most important writing on the making of architecture since Le Corbusier’s Vers une architecture, of 1923.” 1 And I would submit that no other book has had an equally consequential impact ever since, even though Learning from Las Vegas (published by Venturi with Denise Scott Brown and Steven Izenour in 1972) has come quite close. As Aaron Betsky has observed: Like the Modernism that Venturi sought to nuance and enrich, many of the elements for which he argued were present in even the most reduced forms of high Modernism. Venturi was trying to save Modernism from its own pronouncements more than from its practices. To a large extent, he won, to the point now that we cannot think of architecture since 1966 without reference to Robert Venturi.2 253 The Plan Journal 4 (1): 253-259, 2019 - doi: 10.15274/tpj.2019.04.01.1 www.theplanjournal.com Figure 1.

  • Sunrise a Tribute to Our Founders

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.
