This 1963 Exhibition included six emerging to semi well established Painters born between 1923 and 1933. Six Painters and the Object focused on the artists as painters and the canvas as subject since some of the featured Painters were commonly referred to as “object-makers.” The six highlighted artists were: Robert Rauschenberg, Jim Dine, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, and Andy Warhol. The curator Lawrence Alloway chronicled this exhibition in his catalogue essay. The exhibition was pivotal in the public’s acceptance of pop art and its catalogue was essential to allowing the public to understand the fledgling exhibitions. In the catalogue Alloway lists the works in the exhibition and reproductions of selected works in the exhibition.
