Free Admission Day at the Harvard Art Museums
Monday, November 16, 2015, 10:00am5:00pm

One year ago, on November 16, 2014, the Harvard Art Museums’ renovated and expanded facility opened to the public. To mark this anniversary, the museums are offering free admission to all visitors all day.


Current Exhibitions

This exhibition situates Kent within the pop art movement of the 1960s. A Roman Catholic nun, artist, and educator, Kent created striking works that directly engaged with the artistic, social, and religious movements of her time. Her vibrant design for the Boston Gas (now National Grid) tank alongside I-93 gave Boston its own pop art landmark. More than 60 of Kent’s screenprints will be presented, along with a similar number of works by her contemporaries, including Warhol, Ruscha, and Lichtenstein.

This installation presents works by some of the central figures in the history of international pop art, from David Hockney in Great Britain and Gerhard Richter in Germany to Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Andy Warhol in New York. It accompanies an undergraduate seminar that considers historical accounts of how a mass cultural iconography defined artistic production at that time, while also addressing some of the era’s key theoretical questions concerning the relationship between avant-garde and mass culture in the 20th century.

The objects on display are hung in conjunction with a Harvard course and have been chosen to enable students and visitors to address key moments and issues in the complex history of photography as an engine of belief.
