Book AK—The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History During World War II, Adolf Hitler made it his personal mission to seek out Europe’s greatest works of art. His intent was to both build a personal collection of the best art in the world and destroy all works that he considered to be “degenerate” art. Stopping Hitler was not an easy task. The Herculean effort was the result of a group known as the Monuments Men, a special force of American and British art historians, museum directors, curators, and soldiers who worked together to prevent the appropriation and destruction of Europe’s great art. In The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History, author Robert Edsel details this period in history through the moving personal accounts of six of these brave men. Learn more about this historic effort by becoming part of the museum-hosted book club Book AK.

Learn More and Register Book AK: The Pop Revolution Spotlight on Eduardo Paolozzi Eduardo Paolozzi (Scottish, 1924–2005) was one of the founders of the British art movement called the Independent Group in 1952. Composed of artists, sculptors, architects, and critics, this group was driven by a desire to change the modernist approach to high art through the incorporation of mass culture. The Independent Group is considered the precursor to the Pop art movement, which developed in the 1950s in Britain and the United States. While Paolozzi worked with a variety of media throughout his career, he is best known for his sculptures, including the Albright-Knox’s 1958 work Japanese War God. Among the many achievements in the artist’s long career was his knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II in 1988.

Learn More and Register Book AK: The Pop Revolution Spotlight on Robert Rauschenberg For more than five decades, Robert Rauschenberg (American, 1925–2008) was a leading figure in the art world and was associated with many periods of art history, including the Pop art movement. He is perhaps best known for his Combines, which he began creating in the 1950s and worked on throughout his career. In essence a hybrid of painting and sculpture, these works involved combining non-traditional materials and objects—such as wood, bits of metal, newspaper, and even stuffed birds—on a painted canvas. Throughout his prolific career, Rauschenberg also designed sets and costumes for dance productions, including many for the company of his friend Merce Cunningham (American, 1919–2009).

Learn More and Register Book AK: The Pop Revolution Spotlight on Jasper Johns Jasper Johns (American, born 1930) has been a leading figure in the art world for more than sixty years and has been a part of many key movements, including Pop art. While he is known to work in a variety of two- and three-dimensional forms, it is the artist’s highly texturized paintings that are most easily recognizable. He achieves this texture by incorporating wax and plaster with the paint he applies to the canvas. Johns often re-creates iconic images such as targets, numbers, letters, and maps of the United States in his works. He is perhaps best known for his images incorporating the American flag, which has been a consistent theme in his work from the 1950s through today.
