ABOUT POOL PARTY: The pool symbolizes luxury and leisure in America, and it has been captivating artists since the 1950s with bright sunlight, vibrant colors, and modernist architecture. The exhibition features artists who emerged in the mid-20th century, yet their themes of pool culture, class, and leisure remain strikingly contemporary. This is further emphasized by the younger generation of artists reclaiming the narrative of the pool in relationship to family, like Amy Bennett and Isca Greenfield-Sanders, and within more social, environmental, and civic contexts, such as Derrick Adams, Anastasia Samoylova, Jay Lynn Gomez. These themes, so relevant to our lives today, will engage and connect with our visitors. Pool Party: The Pool in American Art features artists: Slim Aarons | Derrick Adams | Amy Bennett | Maritza Caneca | Bruce Davidson | Jay Lynn Gomez | David Hockney | Ridley Howard | Isca Greenfield-Sanders | Alex Katz | Joel Meyerowitz | Ed Ruscha | Anastasia Samoylova | Peter Schreyer | Ericka Sobrack | Andy Sweet | Andy Warhol (fb)
