Ad Men: Advertising in Contemporary Art
Since the consumer explosion that followed World War II, numerous artists have trained in commercial work and adapted advertising themes and techniques to their art. This exhibition features a dozen works from such artists—Andy Warhol, Ed Ruscha, James Rosenquist, and Roy Lichtenstein, among others—and examines the processes, techniques, and subject matter of advertising and commercial art.
