In this presentation, Nancy J. Troy examines Yves Saint Laurent’s wildly popular series of Mondrian dresses of 1965 to reveal the significance of these designs for the French couturier’s career, their impact on Piet Mondrian’s posthumous reception, and their resonances with the Pop art of Roy Lichtenstein, Tom Wesselmann, and Andy Warhol.
