Présentation
"Pop art's greatest influence lies not just in its aesthetic revolution, but in its ability to transform the way we see the everyday, the banal, and the commercial, elevating the ordinary to the realm of art and forcing us to reconsider the relationship between culture, commerce, and creativity."
— Rosalind Krauss
Pop Art and the American Tradition explores how the dynamic spirit of Pop Art has been reimagined and repurposed by artists across different eras, from the 1960s to today. Born in the mid-20th century, Pop Art revolutionized the art world by breaking down the boundaries between high culture and mass media. Its vibrant colors, commercial iconography, and irreverent humor challenged the conventions of fine art, capturing the essence of consumerism, celebrity, and everyday life.
Featuring work by seminal figures like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Claes Oldenburg, alongside contemporary voices like Julian Opie and Eric Hibit, Pop Reborn examines how the core ideas of the movement have resonated through the generations. These artists continue to engage with and reinterpret the symbols of mass culture, offering fresh perspectives on the impact of consumerism and popular imagery.
