- The fiercely independent Still disdained the commercialized art world and did not think highly of artists who participated.
- The following year, however, he surprised many by joining the 15 Americans group show at the Museum of Modern Art, curated by Dorothy Miller.
- Dialogue and Defiance follows a chronological display of Still's works in the Museum's first four galleries and will run until January 12, 2025.
