Overview

Ever since Andy Warhol and his entourage caused a near-riot here in 1965, the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) has been shaking up the city with shows revealing the hottest and coolest trends in contemporary art.

The ICA has led the way with the first-ever museum shows of Warhol, Laurie Anderson, Agnes Martin, Robert Indiana and other influential artists.

The wide-open spaces and ultra-high ceilings of its building on the Penn campus, opened in 1991, allow plenty of room for artists to let loose with multimedia installations that climb, hang or scatter through the galleries.

Past shows have looked at Tony Conrad, Cary Leibowitz and fashion icon Rudi Gernreich.

The History

Founded in 1963, the ICA aims to bring underrepresented artists into the spotlight and has earned an international reputation among contemporary art museums. New York Times art critic Roberta Smith once said the ICA was “among the most adventuresome showcases in the country where art since 1970 is concerned.”

Events & More

The ICA regularly schedules lectures and cool gallery tours to encourage audiences to make a connection with its cutting-edge art.
