High and Low: Modern Art and Popular Culture (1990) was an exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art curated by Kirk Varnedoe and Adam Gopnik.

The exhibition was a kind of response to Clement Greenberg's Avant-Garde and Kitsch, attempting to elucidate the extent that artists and high culture drew on and from popular culture. Although universally panned at the time as the only event that could bring Douglas Crimp and Hilton Kramer together in a chorus of scorn, the exhibition is remembered today as a benchmark of the conflict between late modernism and postmodernism.
