Public opening of 'Bolts of Color: Printed Textiles after WWII'

With a focus on Britain, Italy, and the United States, "Bolts of Color" highlights the Museum’s recent acquisitions of postwar textiles, all made during the height of the experimental screen printing era of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. Featuring works by well-known artists like Rockwell Kent and Lucio Fontana and trailblazing designers like Althea McNish and Joel Robinson, this exhibition considers the surprising role of the textile industry in whetting the public’s appetite for contemporary art. Celebrate the opening with drinks from a cash-bar in Sculpture Hall.
