Guggenheim Gets The New Adam At Long Last

“A monumental example of Pop Art whose whereabouts were unknown to scholars and art historians for 30 years has been given to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. The New Adam, a nine-panel painting 8 feet high and nearly 40 feet long by the Oklahoma-born artist Harold Stevenson, has long been considered one of the great American nudes.” The painting was originally created for the Guggenheim in 1962, but was rejected for exhibition due to its content.
