Pop Art, but not as you know it

September 21, 2015

The 60s were characterized by public protest and revolutions - and Pop Art reinterpreted the events in Technicolor. As this exhibition at the Tate Modern boldly shows, there's way more to it than Andy Warhol.

Beyond Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Hamilton, Peter Blake and David Hockney, from Latin America to Asia, and from Europe to the Middle East, several other artists in the 60s and 70s responded to the Pop Art movement.

The Tate Modern's exhibition "The World Goes Pop" shows how many artists throughout the world can be also connected to Pop Art. Their lesser known works went beyond celebrating western consumer culture and served as a language of protest.
