$20,000 toward the traveling exhibition and accompanying catalogue Joe Brainard: A Retrospective, organized by museum curator Constance Lewallen with additional essays by Carter Ratcliff and John Ashbery. Working in New York City, Brainard designed and illustrated book and magazine covers, while also exploring collage, painting and assemblage. Patterned with images of flowers, dogs and pop culture, his work is realized through a detailed awareness of color and texture.
