This is the first major museum exhibition to focus exclusively on “The Pictures Generation.” Educated in the self-reflexive and critical principles of Minimal and Conceptual art, this tightly knit group of artists brought those lessons to bear on a return to recognizable imagery, exploring how images shape our perceptions of ourselves and the world. Featured are 160 works in all media by 30 artists, including Jack Goldstein, Robert Longo, Troy Brauntuch, and Sherrie Levine—artists featured in the original 1977 exhibition entitled “Pictures” at Artists Space—as well as Cindy Sherman, Richard Prince, David Salle, Matt Mullican, Louise Lawler, and Dara Birnbaum, among others.
