Join us this month for a tour of \;Jay DeFeo: A Retrospect ive \;at 4 pm\, with a free pre-tour reception from 3&ndash\;4 \;pm .\nThis retrospective is the definitive exhibition to date of the work of J ay DeFeo (1929&ndash\;89). At the outset of her career in the 1950s\, DeFeo was at the center of a vibrant community of Beat artists\, poets\, and mus icians in San Francisco. Although she is best known for her monumental\, al most two-thousand-pound painting \;The Rose \;(1958&ndash\;66\, now in the Whitney&rsquo\;s collection)\, which she spent eight years making a nd which later languished hidden behind a wall for two decades\, DeFeo crea ted an astoundingly diverse range of works spanning four decades. Her uncon ventional approach to materials and intensive\, physical process make DeFeo a unique figure in postwar American art who defies easy categorization. Th e full breadth of her work will be presented for the first time in this exh ibition of more than 130 objects.\nPlease note: we regret that complimentar y tickets will no longer be available for ASL students.
