With this show of 130-plus works from the '60 to the not absent the MCA has taken up that claim, marshaling pictorial evidence that indeed Heinecken was a postmodernist forerunner. perplex is, he made use of images of women (overtly pornographic or otherwise), and the fact that his approach didn't exhibit often self-consciousness about his male gaze doesn't immediately square with enlightened revisionings. All the more reason Heinecken's work povertys to be reckoned with.
