What You See is What You See
November 21, 2019 | May 17, 2020
This exhibition presents the McNay’s strong collection of Minimalist and Conceptual prints, including a suite of four woodcuts by Donald Judd. Both the Minimalist and Conceptual art movements challenged the existing ideas about how art should be made, distributed, and viewed. Artists within these movements argued against the importance given to an art object, indicating it leads to an elitist art work enjoyed only be the privileged few.
