The Game Changers: Diebenkorn, Frankenthaler, and Rauschenberg

March 20, 2025-October 5, 2025

 

Abstract Expressionism established American artists as the leaders of a revolution that continues to impact the contemporary scene. Artists across the country responded to the new techniques with their own innovations, inventing Pop Art and setting the stage for Post-Modernism along the way.

Helen Frankenthaler, Richard Diebenkorn, and Robert Rauschenberg created essential works in the mid-20th century, forever changing what American art would look like and what it could mean to us.

These three mavericks are at the core of Cameron Art Museum’s collection, which showcases prints by Modern American artists using various techniques, including lithography, intaglio, and screen-printing.

The Game Changers exhibition expands viewers’ appreciation of prints in the permanent collection with the generous inclusion of works by Frankenthaler, Diebenkorn, Rauschenberg, and their contemporaries from renowned American museum collections.

Join us as we celebrate the works of remarkable artists from a pivotal period in our shared cultural history.
