Resplendent Dreams: Reawakening the Rococo
Resplendent Dreams: Reawakening the Rococo showcases work from three contemporary queer artists—Robert Horvath, Diego Montoya, and Anthony Sonnenberg—who were influenced by the Rococo period, a movement in European art, architecture, and design that developed over the first half of the 1700s. The artists draw on the Rococo period’s sense of frivolity and extravagance to create extravagant contemporary pieces, demonstrating how the past continues to resonate with their concerns and sensibilities today.
