ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

On view September 10, 2022-January 2, 2023, the exhibition Pop to Now: Warhol and His Legacy, developed in partnership with Aktion Art, features select works by Warhol, Basquiat, and Haring and follows their influence on pop culture, music, fashion and art through a mix of works on canvas, as well as unique objects and memorabilia from the heady years of the Pop Art movement to today’s cultural landscape of NFTs (non-fungible tokens), digital and data-driven art. Designed as a cultural celebration of the landmark pop artists of this century, Pop to Now pays homage to the innovative creatives who have inspired billions, shattered ceilings, and created iconic moments.
