Description
United by their assertive, sometimes insistent, political messages, the fifty-two works by thirty-three artists included in this exhibition offer a select and lively perspective on American elections, politicians and social power dynamics. Spanning more than five decades, the works not only refer to political subjects and social issues specific to their time, but also resonate with ideological and humanistic themes amazingly relevant today.
This exhibition invites the viewer to compare and contrast many visual strategies that explore issues of racism, demagoguery, oppression, war, climate change, among others. Some artists employ tools such as satire, propaganda, and the portrayal of newsworthy events or utopian ideals. Others utilize more iconic subjects—such as U.S. presidents, Uncle Sam, the Oval Office, and Old Glory—to celebrate, examine, and critique American governance and policy.

Elaine Angelopoulos, Joseph Beuys, Nancy Chunn, Nancy Chunn/David McDevitt, Chuck Close, Shepard Fairey, Rico Gatson, Leon Golub, Helen Mayer Harrison & Newton Harrison, Jenny Holzer, Robert Indiana, Ilya Kabakov, Deborah Kass, Vitaly Komar, Komar & Melamid, Les Levine, Roy Lichtenstein, Chris Lord, Alexander Melamid, David Opdyke, William Pope.L, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, Julian Schnabel, Andres Serrano, Ben Shahn, Federico Solmi, Nancy Spero, Kara Walker, Andy Warhol, Carrie Mae Weems, William Wegman, and Lou Woehrle.
