Featuring Pop Art prints, drawings, sculptures, and artists' books from the Addison Gallery of American Art's permanent collection, by artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol.

Characterized by bright, explosive, and accessible imagery, Pop Art was unlike any other movement of the 20th century in its instant popularity and its all-encompassing cultural impact.

Emerging in the U.S. in the early 1960s, a time of unprecedented economic prosperity, Pop Art explored the image world of a rapidly growing consumer society.

Taking inspiration from advertising, pulp magazines, billboards, movies, television, comic strips, and shop windows, and basing their techniques and style on aspects of media and mass reproduction, artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, James Rosenquist, and Andy Warhol blurred the lines between art and commodity in humorous, witty, and often ironic works that can be seen as both celebrations and critiques of popular culture.

POP!

includes prints, sculptures, paintings, and artists’ books drawn from the permanent collection, many never before exhibited at the Addison.
