Art and Rock and Roll Since 1967, MOCA Miami Museum

This is a Miami art exhibition and event you should not miss! It is a short, yet interesting showcase of the rock-and-roll culture’s influence on arts.

"Since the late 1950s the unlikely hybrid of rhythm-and-blues and country music has had an undeniable impact on society while drastically changing with the times.

Artists from the 1960s to the present have maintained a strong connection to rock, beginning with Andy Warhol’s involvement with The Velvet Underground.

More recently, artists such as Slater Bradley, Raymond Pettibon, and Mike Kelley have created album covers and music videos for rock bands, while many noted rock musicians such as John Lennon, Bryan Ferry, and Peter Townsend have emerged from art schools."

This Miami event features about 100 works is the most serious and comprehensive look at the intimate and inspired relationship between the visual arts and rock-and-roll culture. The exhibition includes works of art, album covers, music videos, and more. Besides, this Miami exhibition at the Miami Museum of Contemporary Art MOCA, explores the relevance of specific cities, including London, New York, and Los Angeles.
