FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Skirball Cultural Center to present Pop for the People: Roy Lichtenstein in L.A. October 7, 2016-March 12, 2017

New retrospective of vanguard American artist Roy Lichtenstein explores social impact of Pop Art

Display of rarely seen works and photographs underscores the artist at work in Los Angeles for more than twenty-five years

LOS ANGELES—Renowned for his representations of everyday objects and his inventive interplay of line, dot, and color, Roy Lichtenstein (1923–1997) shaped the Pop Art movement. Organized by the Skirball Cultural Center, Pop for the People: Roy Lichtenstein in L.A. explores how the artist and the movement—buoyed by a renaissance in printmaking in Los Angeles—made fine art accessible to the American public in ways that had not been achieved before. By exploring the historical and cultural context of Lichtenstein’s life and work, the exhibition sheds light on the social impact of Pop Art, especially as it developed in Los Angeles.

Real Change, the Seattle-based newspaper focused on economic, social, and racial justice, reviewed the exhibition Emancipating the Past: Kara Walker's Tales of Slavery and Power, currently on view at the Bellevue Arts Museum. Drawn from the collections of philanthropist Jordan D. Schnitzer and the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation, the exhibition encompasses three narrative portfolio series of silhouettes that each tell a story, laser-cut steel sculptures, a film and stand-alone works.

The Seattle Times' Melissa Davis reports that 250 Andy Warhol prints will be presented at the Portland Art Museum in Andy Warhol: Prints from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation. The exhibit, the largest retrospective of its kind, will sprawl across two floors of the museum and is drawn from the over-9,500-print collection of Portland philanthropist Jordan Schnitzer.

PORTLAND, Ore.— The Portland Art Museum is pleased to present Andy Warhol: Prints from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation, opening October 8, 2016. This major retrospective exhibition of approximately 250 Andy Warhol prints and ephemera from the collection of Jordan D. Schnitzer is the largest of its kind ever to be presented. It spans two floors of the Museum and includes instantly recognizable images such as Warhol’s iconic Campbell’s Soup Can (Tomato) and Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn). 

The Seattle Times' Gayle Clemans explores the exhibition Emancipating the Past: Kara Walker's Tales of Slavery and Power and its relevancy to today's social issues. Observing that the exhibition opened at Bellevue Arts Museum at a time when racial issues are at the forefront of American current events, Clemans writes, "Clearly, sadly, Kara Walker’s images of violence, power imbalance, and racial tension — drawn from the pre-Civil War South — are still relevant today."

Arlene Schnitzer and Jordan Schnitzer are proud to be Director's Circle sponsors of Converge 45. Converge 45 is a program of curated exhibitions of contemporary art situated in and around Portland, Oregon. Annual summer programming, events and collateral exhibitions will showcase international, national and regional contemporary art.
