Revolution Of The Eye: Artists On TV
Early on, television opened its doors to appearances by avant-garde artists – from John Cage performing a musical composition on I've Got a Secret to Salvador Dali as the mystery guest on What's My Line.
Museum visitors to Revolution of the Eye will experience rare clips of John Cage, Salvador Dali, Willem de Kooning, Marcel Duchamp, Ray Eames, Roy Lichtenstein, Ben Shahan, George Segal and other renowned artists.
