About the Exhibition

The Radford University Art Museum houses a diverse collection of works by nationally and internationally recognized artists alongside lesser known artists from our region. Many of these artists produced work toward the end of the Modern Era and during what is now known as Postmodernism. This exhibition celebrates and fosters appreciation for the more inconspicuous movements of the twentieth century; all of which have shaped the art of today. Among the most notable artists to be featured in the exhibition are John Cage, Elaine de Kooning, Jasper Johns, Richard Tuttle, and Hannah Wilke.

This exhibition also marks Radford University’s Centennial Celebration. Our special thanks to the Radford University Art Museum for this collaborative opportunity.
