In 1957 The Jewish Museum presented a groundbreaking contemporary art exhibition featuring works by 23 emerging artists including Helen Frankenthaler, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and George Segal. A seminal show filled with young artists who were headed in a new direction that shaped the movement of contemporary art for years to come. At the time it was the most radical place in New York City to see cutting edge contemporary art. In fact it's were Leo Castelli first laid eyes on Johns's 1955 painting "Green Target." Intrigued, Castelli visited Johns's studio, reacted with messianic fervor and in early 1958, presented the show that launched Johns's fame and changed the course of postwar American art.
