The Living End: Painting and Other Technologies, 1970–2020 surveys the arc of painting over the last 50 years, highlighting it as a mode of artistic expression in a constant state of renewal and rebirth.
The Living End is curated by Jamillah James, Manilow Senior Curator, with Jack Schneider, Assistant Curator.
