‘Someday is Now: The Art of Corita Kent’

“Someday is Now: The Art of Corita Kent,” at the Andy Warhol Museum is the first full scale survey covering more than 30 years of work by the American artist Corita Kent (1918-1986). In her rich and varied career, she was a designer, teacher, feminist and activist for civil rights and anti-war causes. Her thousands of posters, murals and signature serigraphs reflect a combined passion for faith and politics. Kent became one of the most popular graphic artists of the 1960s and 1970s, and her images remain iconic symbols that address the larger questions and concerns of that turbulent time. While several exhibitions have focused on Kent’s work from the 1960s, “Someday is Now” is the first major museum show to survey her entire career, including early abstractions and text pieces as well as the more lyrical works made in the 1970s and 1980s. The exhibition includes rarely shown photographs Kent used for te aching and documentary purposes, as well as hands-on art activities inspired by Kent’s teaching philosophy.
