Fly Me to the Moon

Modern Art Oxford presents the first solo exibition in the UK of acclaimed Austrian artist Kiki Kogelnik (1935-1997). Working in New York in the 1960s, Kogelnik was a well-known artist and contemporary of figures such as Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. Despite her early popularity, Kogelnik's work was often overlooked by institutions and slowly written out of the history of post-war Western art. 'Fly Me To The Moon' surveys the diverse practice of this remarkable artist, focusing in particular on the works produced by Kogelnik during her time in New York int eh1960s and 1970s. The exhibition includes a number of paintings, sculptures and drawings which reflect the tumult of the Cold War era, when the Space Race was at its height and fears of nuclear annihilation were growing.
