Palette Knife Portraits, Salman Khoshroo

Iranian artist Salman Khoshroo uses thick lumps of oil paint and a big palette knife to design portraits and large figures which look like their dripping on the canvas that they’re on.

#52Exhibitions: Information (1970)

The milestone exhibition Information, which opened in 1970, helped to introduce Conceptual art to American audiences. It featured works by an international range of artists—some of them, like Adrian Piper, making their museum debuts—and all asking, according to curator Kynaston McShine, how to create an art that could reach broader audiences than those typically interested in contemporary art. Information featured Hans Haacke’s famous “MoMA-Poll,” a foundational example of institutional critique. Visitors were asked to drop a ballot into either one of two clear boxes labeled “yes” and “no” based on one question: “Would the fact that Governor Rockefeller has not denounced President Nixon’s Indochina policy be a reason for you to not vote for him in November?” While explicitly antiwar, Haacke’s question was also multi-pronged in its critique: Rockefeller was, at the time, a member of MoMA’s board of trustees, making the Museum itself complicit with the Governor’s silence on Nixon’s policies.
