In the final part of his United States odyssey, Andrew Graham-Dixon feels the pulse of contemporary America.
Beginning in Levittown - the first mass-produced suburb -
Andrew uncovers the dark side of post-war consumerism and the role artists have played in challenging the status quo.
He visits
New York's Metropolitan Museum to see the most subversive artwork of
1950s America,
Jasper Johns's
White Flag.
Pop art defined the
1960s and
Andy Warhol was its greatest artist. Andrew examines
Warhol's soup can paintings, meets his former lover
Billy Name and interviews one of the last great surviving pop artists,
James Rosenquist.
He travels west down the open road, exploring its art, arriving in
Los Angeles, an artificial dream world that has inspired the graphic style of
Ed Ruscha and the city's own unique contribution to
20th century design -
Googie architecture.
Back east, Andrew visits the home of one of his favourite 20th century artists, the late
Philip Guston, and gets a private view of his work. He drops into the studio of
Jeff Koons to learn how the enfant terrible of contemporary art continues to challenge the boundaries of American taste.
Finally, he explores the impact
9/11 has had on America and how a new generation of artists, such as
Matthew Day Jackson, have made sense of this tragic event.
