A Changing Ratio: Painting and Sculpture From the Collection August 10, 2009

Referencing the title of a 1967 essay by Lucy Lippard, 'A Changing Ratio: Painting and Sculpture From the Collection,' explores the trajectory linking non-representational painting of the early 1950s to the sculptural innovations of the late 1960s. Painting, no longer the dictator of production during these years, became secondary as sculpture found its long-sought independence and began to wield significant influence over art production. Art objects became increasingly physical, acting as vehicles for the advancement of both color and form.
