The exhibition examines Kent’s screenprints as well as her 1971 bold “rainbow swash” design for the Boston Gas tank claiming it as the city's own pop art monument. More than 60 of Kent’s prints appear alongside about the same number of works by her prominent contemporaries. The exhibition also expands the current scholarship on Kent’s art, elevating the role of her artwork by identifying its place in the artistic and cultural movements of her time. In particular, the exhibition explores how Kent’s work both responded to and advanced the concerns of Vatican II, a movement to modernize the Catholic Church.
