In the early 1970s, that question was hotly debated as artists, critics, and the public grappled with the relationship between art, politics, race, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how \u201cgreat modern art\u201d was defined and assessed, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many, the decision by women artists and artists of color \u00a0to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists\u2014Helen Frankenthaler, Sam Gilliam, Al Loving, and Louise Nevelson\u2014who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, and College of Literature, Science, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors: \u00a0Richard and\u00a0Rosann\u00a0Noel Endowment Fund, Herbert W. and Susan L.\u00a0Johe\u00a0Endowment, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender, School of Social Work, Department of Political Science, and Department of Women's Studies", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"58562-15784182@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/58562", "building_id":"1000151", "building_name":"Museum of Art", "campus_maps_id":"11", "room":"A.

During these decades, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction\u2019s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction, Color, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies\u2014seen here across large-scale and miniature work\u2014dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA\u00a0gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, and College of Literature, Science, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors: \u00a0Richard and\u00a0Rosann\u00a0Noel Endowment Fund, Herbert W. and Susan L.\u00a0Johe\u00a0Endowment, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender, School of Social Work, Department of Political Science, and Department of Women's Studies", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"63803-15884184@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/63803", "building_id":"1000151", "building_name":"Museum of Art", "campus_maps_id":"11", "room":"A.

The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida H\u00f6fer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women\u2014including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"68063-16988491@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/68063", "building_id":"1000151", "building_name":"Museum of Art", "campus_maps_id":"11", "room":"Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse", "location_name":"Museum of Art", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Exhibition","UMMA","Media","Museum","European","Art","Alumni","Africa"], "website":"https:\/\/umma.umich.edu\/exhibitions\/2019\/collection-ensemble", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)", "group_id":"1177", "website":"http:\/\/www.umma.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":168, "first_occurrence":16988385 } }
