LEXINGTON, Ky. (Jan. 7, 2009) − The Art Museum at the University of Kentucky presents a new exhibition of modern art influenced by poetry. "Robert Motherwell and Jasper Johns: Poetic Works as Metaphor" comes to the museum Jan. 11 through March 1.


Motherwell, one of the principal exponents of abstract expressionism, and Johns, one of the leaders responsible for the breakthrough from abstract expressionism to the pop art movement which succeeded it, are brought together in this showing of their combined bibliophilic works. The exhibition focuses on collaborative efforts with poets that share the artists' vision. "Robert Motherwell and Jasper Johns: Poetic Works as Metaphor" focuses on two separate and isolated projects involving unusual collaborations between an artist and a poet.
