    The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao presents Painterly Abstraction, 1949-1969: Selections from the Guggenheim Collections

    June 14, 2011 through January 8, 2012

    Based largely around works from the Guggenheim Collections in New York and Bilbao, this exhibiton explores the leading trends in American and European painting in the 1950s and 60s.

    In the United States, the postwar period witnessed the appearance of an American avant-garde with international repercussions, through movements like Abstract Expresionism and Color Field Painting. In Europe, Tachisme and Art Informel shared the tendency of Abstract Expressionism to reject traditional forms of composition in favor of more gestural painting. Image:Alechinsky_67.1848.jpg
