The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis is one of the leading players in the US contemporary art world. It was there that Bartholomew Ryan flourished as an assistant curator, organising acclaimed exhibitions on contemporary abstract painting and the role of the artist in today’s culture. This year, he has been responsible for ‘International Pop’, broadening the historical focus on Pop art beyond the usual narrative of its advent in New York and London. His recent move to the Andy Warhol Museum bodes well for the institution’s exhibition programme.
