Some of the highlights of the exhibition will include Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Cans from the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York; Ed Ruscha’s Los Angeles County Museum on Fire from the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC; and Ed Kienholz’s Walter Hopps, Hopps, Hopps from the Menil Collection in Houston.
