At age 18, Corita Kent (1918–1986) joined the religious order of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Los Angeles, teaching and eventually chairing Immaculate Heart College’s art department. As an artist and art educator she very soon reached the status of a living legend. For the first time in the German-speaking context, the TAXISPALAIS Kunsthalle Tirol presents a comprehensive selection of her compelling serigraphs from the 1960s. In the manner of Pop Art, Corita Kent appropriated advertisement motifs and slogans as well as popular songs’ lyrics, combining these pop culture references with biblical verses, news content and quotations from literature in order to produce emphatic and joyful poster works in the service of peace and social justice.
