Dupont Circle | car_park = | network = | website = }} The Washington Gallery of Modern Art was a short-lived gallery promoting contemporary art near Dupont Circle in Washington, DC, USA, during the 1960s. Its collection of 153 works was purchased by the Oklahoma City Museum of Art in 1968 for $110,000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=www.okcmoa.com )〕 The collection included 20th-century artists Ellsworth Kelly, Robert Indiana, Grace Hartigan and Marcel Duchamp. The Washington Gallery of Modern Art had a number of exhibitions which traveled nationally and internationally, most notably the historic "Washington Color Painters" show in 1965 which formalized recognition of the Washington Color School of painters. Other important events at the Gallery included the first Franz Kline retrospective in 1962, curated by Alice Denney, and the "Popular Image Show" in 1963 which included artists like Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Tom Wesselmann, George Brecht, Claes Oldenburg, Jim Dine and James Rosenquist. The Gallery organized the raucous "Pop Festival" the same year, which was the first occasion on which Rauschenberg performed his now famous "Pelican." John Cage and the Judson Dancers performed, Oldenburg staged a happening called "Stars," and Robert Rosenblum delivered a lecture on Pop Art. The gallery was founded by Assistant Director Alice Denney and Julian Eisenstein. Among its directors were Gerald Nordland (who gave the Washington Color School its name), Charles Millard, Adelyn Breeskin and for a short stint near the Gallery's end Walter Hopps. Though a New York Times article cites Eleanor "Lalli" Lloyd as the Gallery's founder, she was instead an important member of the first board. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Washington Gallery of Modern Art」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
