Richard Prince, 1980

The art produced during the 1980s veered between radical and conservative, capricious and political, socially engaged and art historically aware. This Will Have Been: Art, Love & Politics in the 1980s, an exhibition on view this month at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chigacago, provides viewers with an overview of the artistic production of these heady days, as well as impart the decade’s sense of political and aesthetic urgency by placing many of the decade’s competing factions in close proximity to one another. On view February 11, 2012 to June 3, 2012 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, 220 E Chicago Ave, Chicago IL
