NYC at the Tate Modern

New York has been a breeding hub for emerging art movements, from Max Weber’s Cubism, to the Abstract Expressionism of Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning and the Pop Art movement led by Jasper Johns and Roy Lichtenstein.

Today, the city is a global centre for the international art market countered by a constant flux of underground movements, such as Hip-hop art and Graffiti, which shaped artists such as Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Does this art reflect the Jewish American experience? Can Jewish thought and ideas be traced in New York art?
