The Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University invited guests to a special director’s preview prior to the public opening of Pop América, 1965-1975, the first exhibition with a hemispheric vision of Pop art’s engaging imagery, highlighting the significant contribution of Latin American and Latino/a artists. In addition to the exhibition preview, Nasher Museum Director Sarah Schroth spoke to the significance of such an exhibit, and introduced guest curator and Duke professor Esther Gabara, whose groundbreaking research
led to this exhibition, years in the making – a collection of nearly 100 works by artists connecting Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico and the United States that makes a timely and critical contribution to a more complete understanding of this artistic period. The exhibition runs through July 21.
