This documentary pulls back the curtain and takes a look at the cultural climate surrounding MoMA’s now famed exhibition, “High & Low: High Art and Popular Culture”. Opening in the fall of 1990, the show placed a spotlight on the rapid merging of consumerism and the artistic avant-garde. Curated by Kirk Varnedoe and Adam Gopnik and featuring work from artists such as Jeff Koons and Roy Lichtenstein, “High & Low” ignites conversations of mass culture and our society’s ever-changing relationship with the arts.
