Art Since the 1960s: California Experiments featured important examples of pop art, assemblage, conceptual art, video, performance, installation, and neoconceptual work from the Museum’s collection. Included in Art Since the 1960s: California Experiments were artists’ books, archival materials, and documentation from key Museum exhibitions that launched the careers of prominent artists such as Eleanor Antin, John Baldessari, Wallace Berman, Chris Burden, Vija Celmins, Charles Ray, Ed Ruscha, Alexis Smith, James Turrell, and others. This collection installation also provided a framework for scholarship about these artists and groundbreaking moments in Art Since the 1960s in interpretive materials in the galleries and the Museum Web site. Art Since the 1960s: California Experiments was organized by the Orange County Museum of Art and curated by OCMA Curator of Collections Karen Moss. The exhibition was made possible through a generous grant from Jean and Tim Weiss and the National Endowment for the Arts. Interpretive materials and research for this exhibition have been generously funded by the Getty Foundation and the Henry Luce Foundation.
