U.S. Pavillion, 41st Venice Biennale

Organized by Lynn Gumpert, Ned Rifkin, and Marcia Tucker, commissioners of the U.S. Pavillion, 41st Venice Biennale

"The notion of Earthly Paradise, of the Golden Age, of a Utopian existence, is important to an understanding of much contemporary painting in America today because it symbolizes a national longing for peace and security at a time when artists are seeking to reinvest the world with meaning."
Lynn Gumpert, Ned Rifkin, and Marcia Tucker, Paradise Lost/Paradise Regained catalogue.
