The exhibition Expanded Horizons: American Art of the 70s at galerie Ropac presents works by 20 of the most influential American artists working in the 1970s.
The exhibition explores the radical artistic innovations of this turbulent decade. Presented at Thaddaeus Ropac Paris Pantin, this retrospective invites us to reconsider an often underestimated period, and to ponder how the avant-garde artists of the time challenged and redefined contemporary notions of art.
By juxtaposing an emblematic selection of works from this transformative decade, the exhibition underscores the importance of the 1970s for the art world. With an unconventional and resolutely egalitarian approach to materials, and a shared desire to explore how their practice interacts with the physical and conceptual landscape, the works of the 20 artists featured are united by a quest for new forms of expression. These creations respond to the rapidly changing world around them, enriching the dialogue between art and history in ways that are still relevant today.
The following artists are exhibited: Robert Rauschenberg, Mary Lovelace O'Neal, James Rosenquist, Donald Judd, Joan Snyder, Rosemarie Castoro, Sol LeWitt, Judy Chicago, Sam Gilliam, Joan Brown, John Chamberlain, Carl Andre, Irving Penn, Robert Ryman, Alex Katz, Senga Nengudi, Andy Warhol, David Hammons, Dan Flavin.
On November 9 at 4pm, a dance performance echoing the exhibition is offered in the gallery (reservation required). Fielding 70s, is conceived by choreographer Susan Quinn and her dance company BODHI PROJECT.
Visual by Judy Chicago.
