Too Much Joy: Revisiting the Pattern and Decoration Movement

Too Much Joy: Revisiting the Pattern and Decoration Movement is a survey of works that came to critical and commercial success in the late 1970s and early 1980s, yet frequently go without mention in recent art history. Drawing on the Marieluise Hessel Collection's exceptional representation of works from the movement, the exhibition includes paintings, sculptures, and other works by Brad Davis, Valerie Jaudon, Robert Kushner, Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt, Kim MacConnel, Elizabeth Murray, Judy Pfaff, Rodney Ripps, Ned Smyth, Robert Zakanitch, and Joe Zucker, as well as works on loan for the exhibition from Joyce Kozloff and Miriam Schapiro. Too Much Joy is curated by Jimena Acosta-Romero, Robert Blackson, Amaya de Miguel Sanz, and Kelly Taxter.

The four curators of Too Much Joy: Revisiting the Pattern and Decoration Movement will be on hand in the galleries to discuss their exhibition.
