About Drawn to Abstraction: Prints from the 1960s and 70s: 
The works in this exhibition capture the vibrancy of the emerging abstract movements during the 1960s and 70s, including Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism, Op Art, and Pop art. This show features an extraordinary collection of works on paper by artists now widely recognized as giants of 20th century art: Josef Albers, Max Ernst, Helen Frankenthaler, Ellsworth Kelly, Roy Lichtenstein, Joan Miró, Robert Motherwell, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, Frank Philip Stella, and others.
