This exhibition features some fascinating political posters, prints and multiples from the 1960s through today. Highlights include a rare 1968 silkscreen by Sister Corita Kent with a quote from Bobby Kennedy, and a 1975 Alexander Calder poster for nuclear disarmament - with a quote from John F. Kennedy. There's also a 1972 Calder silkscreen for George McGovern (who lost in a landslide to Richard Nixon) - hand signed by BOTH Alexander Calder and George McGovern - one of the very few out there signed by both. Other highlights include Peter Saul's "Politics", an unsparing commentary on the ills of the Reagan era, and Judy Chicago's 1980s "Driving the World to Destruction" - an eerily prescient critique of "toxic masculinity". The most contemporary work in the show is Jonas Wood's "VOTE" - perhaps a direct answer in the Trump era to Chicago's warning decades earlier.
