Here Comes the Sun: Warhol and Art after 1960 in the Norton Collection
Organized by the Norton Museum of Art
February 13 - May 2, 2010

This exhibition will feature a diverse selection of artworks made after 1960, all of which belong to the Norton but are more or less frequently exhibited. Some have become “classics” in a relatively short time, such as Andy Warhol’s flower painting of 1964, Harry Bertoia’s Sunburst III (1968), and Sir Anthony Caro’s Topper (1978–79). Others deserve to be better known, such as a pair of signature stripe paintings by Karin Davie, Nice I and Nice II (1992) and works in new media like Chilean-born Alfredo Jaar’s romantic light-box image with mirrors, Untitled (Water), from 1991–94.
