Kirk Varnedoe and Adam Gopnick (curators)

Kirk Varnedoe and Adam Gopnick: HIGH AND LOW: MODERN ART AND POPULAR CULTURE. NYC: Museum of Modern Art with Harry Abrams, 1990. First edition. A near fine oversized softcover book in stiff, printed wrappers: light wear to edges. Anicely well-preserved copy. Interior unmarked and very clean. Out-of-print.

9.5 x 12 book with 460 pages and 626 illustrations (193 in color), including several fold-outs. The legendary catalogue for the HIGH & LOW: HIGH ART AND POPULAR CULTURE exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in the fall of 1990. Curatored by Kirk Varnedoe and Adam Gopnik, the exhibition and book dwell on the dialogue established in the twentieth century between modernism and mass culture, from the collages of Braque and Picasso through the seminal Pop images of Roy Lichtenstein to the LED signs of Jenny Holzer.
