The eight monumental works of contemporary art in the exhibition are united by two factors: the internationally recognized stature of their makers and the individual artist's attempt to synthesize his main stylistic and thematic ideas into a single summary work. Ron Davis, Jim Dine, Nancy Graves, David Hockney, Sol LeWitt, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, and Frank Stella have each produced a body of work that has had a major influence upon his generation. In the paintings and sculptures presented here, each artist's explorations and contributions are summed up in one grand "Olympian gesture."
