Nasher Exhibition Wins First-Ever Sotheby’s Prize
The Nasher Museum is proud to be co-winner of the inaugural Sotheby's Prize for Pop América, 1965-1975, the first exhibition with a hemispheric vision of Pop art, showcasing the significant contributions of Latin American and Latino/a artists. Pop América will open in October 2018 at the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas, which is partnering with the Nasher Museum to stage the exhibition. It will travel to the Nasher Museum in 2019 and then to the Block Museum at Northwestern University in Illinois. The second winner of the Sotheby’s Prize is the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. The two museums will each receive $125,000.
“The exhibition has been years in the making and reflects groundbreaking research by guest curator and Duke professor Esther Gabara,” said Nasher Museum Director Sarah Schroth. “As the first exhibition to present a vision of Pop in the American continent as a whole, Pop América makes a critical contribution to understanding this artistic period and Latin America’s rich artistic heritage.”
