Bring a group of up to ten people to enjoy a tour of the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s special exhibition Artists Respond: American Art and the Vietnam War, 1965-1975. This is the first major museum exhibition to examine the contemporary impact of the Vietnam War on American art. The show brings together nearly 100 works by fifty-eight of the most visionary and provocative artists of the period, including Asco, Corita Kent, Edward Kienholz, Rupert García, Leon Golub, Hans Haacke, David Hammons, Kim Jones, Yoko Ono, Martha Rosler, Carolee Schneemann and Nancy Spero. Galvanized by the moral urgency of the Vietnam War, these artists reimagined the goals and uses of art, affecting developments in multiple movements and media. The exhibition presents an era in which artists endeavored to respond to the turbulent times and openly questioned issues inherent to American civic life. Tour will be 60-90 minutes long and led by the exhibition curator and former UPES parent Melissa Ho. The content of the exhibition is for mature audiences.
