SUMMARY:How NYC Became the Art Capital of the World
DESCRIPTION:After World War II\, the center of the art world shifted from Paris to New York. It is here that new modern art styles and movements were born\, such as Abstract Expressionism\, Minimalism\, Conceptualism\, Color Field\, and Pop Art. Many artists from Europe migrated to New York\, seeking new opportunities. In addition\, American artists such as Jackson Pollock\, Sol LeWitt\, Mark Rothko\, Alex Katz\, and Roy Lichtenstein emerged onto the art scene and were central to these movements. Hear consultant Scott Verchin discuss how New York’s museums are collectively evolving into becoming the world’s leading cultural institutions for fine art. \nAdvance registration is appreciated.
