Like Paris between the Wars, '60s New York was the epicenter of the art world — whether in theory, tectonic creativity, or the army of look-at-me artists on its banks. A Kansas City transplant, the young, art-history-conscious Robert Morris arrived on the scene and began making sculptures that responded to Parisian Dadaist Marcel Duchamp. Deflationary Objects is a rare exhibition of Morris' small-scale pieces, all made during the versatile artist's iconic and increasingly anti-formulaic period. Included are his Duchamp prompt-and-responses, such as the reflective, red-green structure Pharmacy, and unorthodox self-portraits, such as I-box — metal-sheathed box with an I-lettered pink door that opens to Morris' nude photograph.
