DENVER – Time is running out to see “Beyond Pop Art: A Tom Wesselmann Retrospective” at the Denver Art Museum. The exhibition is on view through Sept. 14.

“Beyond Pop Art” features the work of painter Tom Wesselmann, who is widely regarded as one of the leading figures of American pop art. Organized chronologically, this exhibition follows the development of Wesselmann’s work, series by series, from his earliest abstract collages to his well-known series, Great American Nudes, and still lifes of his pop period to the cut-steel drawings and Sunset Nudes of his late work.

“Beyond Pop Art” features approximately 100 works, including the larger-than-life Still Life #60 and Screen Star.

Visitors can explore Wesselmann’s personal and creative journey through preliminary drawings, maquettes, archival documents, billboards, photographs and letters.

Daily 45-minute tours of “Beyond Pop Art” are offered at 2 p.m. Both the exhibition and tour are included in museum admission and reservations are not required.
