Anywhere Out of this Word: Postwar Works from the Permanent Collection

This exhibition highlights MOCA’s rich collection of European and American art from the 1940s, 1950s, and early 1960s. Building upon iconic works by Robert Frank, Alberto Giacometti, Alfred Jensen, Helen Levitt, Roy Lichtenstein, and Jackson Pollock, among others, the exhibition draws an arc from the expressive, self-oriented, and often traumatic gestures of the immediate postwar period to the socially inscribed work of the early 1960s.
