The exhibition, In Memory of My Frank O'Hara and American Art , was at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles , from July 11 to November 14, 1999; at The Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, Ohio , January 28 to April 16, 2000; and the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, New York , in May, 2000.
Not only was Frank O'Hara one of the most important American poets of his generation, he was also intimately involved with the art world of the 1950s and 1960s, a time when New York had become the cultural capital of the world. As an associate curator at the Museum of Modern Art, O'Hara organized a series of important exhibitions, notably of the work of Franz Kline and of Robert Motherwell. In Memory of My Frank O'Hara and American Art explores this key period in modern art by presenting artists who were associated with O'Hara and whose seminal works are reflected in his poetry.
