Join us this month for a tour of \;Sinister Pop \;at 4 pm\, with a free pre-tour reception from 3&ndash\;4 pm.\n \;\nSinister Pop \;presents an inventive take on the Museum&rsquo\;s rich and diver se holdings of Pop art from the movement&rsquo\;s inception in the early 19 60s through its aftershocks a decade later. Although Pop art often calls to mind a celebration of postwar consumer culture\, this exhibition focuses o n Pop&rsquo\;s darker side\, as it distorts and critiques the American drea m. Themes of exaggerated consumption\, film noir and the depiction of women in art\, the dystopic American landscape\, and the intersection of popular culture and politics\, are explored through works by acknowledged masters such as Jasper Johns\, Claes Oldenburg\, Ed Ruscha\, and Andy Warhol\, as w ell as by many artists not traditionally associated with Pop whose art may be understood within its wider field of reference. These include William Eg gleston\, Peter Saul\, Christina Ramberg\, and Vija Celmins\, among others. \n \;\nPlease note: we regret that complimentary tickets will no longer be available for ASL students. Museum staff/interpreters will not be able to sign student assignments.\nAdmission to tour and reception is free. Regi stration is required\; RSVP to asl_tours@whitney.org. Please bypass the adm issions line and pick up your tickets at the check-in location in the Museu m lobby.\n\nRelated exhibitions: Sinister Pop\n\nWhitney Museum of American Art DTEND:20130105T150000 DTSTAMP:20121206T165819 DTSTART:20130105T150000 CLASS:PUBLIC SEQUENCE:3 SUMMARY:Whitney Signs: _Sinister Pop_ UID:event6126@whitney.org URL:/Events/WhitneySignsJanuary2013 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
