December 17, 2018 – Partially Ongoing
Vivan Sundaram's work is on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art's "Epic Abstraction: Pollock to Herrera" exhibition (Gallery 921).
“Epic Abstraction” features large-scale abstract painting and sculpture from the 1940s through the early twenty-first century, drawn primarily from the Met collection. Abstract Expressionism serves as the springboard for a thematic installation that intersperses enduring icons with works by lesser-known artists and debuts new acquisitions. Many of the artists represented worked in large formats because they sought not only to have the scope to fully explore line, color, shape, and texture, but also to evoke expansive – “epic”-ideas and subjects, including time, history, the body, and existential concerns of the self.
