Now open! “New York: 1962-1964,” explores a remarkable three-year period when the Jewish Museum emerged as an epicenter of contemporary art in New York. During those years the Museum organized ambitious exhibitions dedicated to what its director at the time, Alan Solomon, called the “new art.” He used the term to describe work that was being made by artists who sourced their raw material from everyday life, things that were “familiar, public, and often disquieting.” Many of the “new artists” lived in New York and engaged with the city in new ways, breaking down distinctions between media and incorporating objects from the surrounding urban environment. Solomon’s exhibitions, including the first-ever retrospectives of #RobertRauschenberg and #JasperJohns, as well as daring surveys of painting and sculpture, established the Jewish Museum as a site of radical experimentation, a place where visitors encountered works that were as dynamic and varied as the city itself.
