1974 Hirshhorn Museum Opening Exhibition Poster – after Kenneth Noland – Beginning

1974 Hirshhorn Museum Opening Exhibition Poster – after Kenneth Noland – Beginning A large exhibition poster issued for the inaugural exhibition of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., opening in 1974. The poster features Beginning, a 1958 painting by Kenneth Noland (1924-2010), one of the leading figures of postwar American abstraction and a key artist associated with Color Field painting. The Hirshhorn identifies Beginning as part of its collection and records it in the museum’s Inaugural Exhibition, held from October 4, 1974 to September 15, 1975. Kenneth Noland was an important American abstract painter known for his bold use of color and geometric form. His work played a major role in the development of postwar abstraction in the United States, and his paintings remain closely associated with the Washington Color School. The poster is in good vintage condition. The image area is intact and the colors remain strong. The edges and corners show handling marks and creasing. Please refer to the pictures for condition.
