MOCA inspira formas nuevas del pensamiento por medio de la cultivación, interpretación, y exhibición del arte innovador de nuestro tiempo.MOCA Tucson is pleased to announce our new exhibition, Peter Young: Capitalist Masterpieces. Young (b. 1940) emerged in New York in the 1960s and quickly rose to prominence on the global art scene. Young exhibited at the Leo Castelli and Noah Goldowsky Galleries (the latter under the aegis of Dick Bellamy), and graced the cover of Artforum in 1971. His work was included in shows at the Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, The Guggenheim, Albright- Knox and Corcoran Museums, as well as the Walker Art Center. Young garnered equal success in Europe, exhibiting with Rolf Ricke in Cologne and at Documenta 5 in Kassel, Germany. Peter Young's work entered many of the era's most prominent collections: Robert Scull, Philip Johnson, Horace and Holly Solomon, Joseph Helman, Ben Heller, Peter Ludwig, Arne Glimcher, Roy Neuberger, Bruno Bischofberger, et al. Yet by the time critical attention arrived, the artist had left New York to travel around the Mediterranean, then Mexico, Costa Rica, and the American Southwest settling in Bisbee, Arizona in 1972 where he continues to live and work today.
