The World Goes Pop
September 17 2015 – January 24 2016, Start and end dates
The EY Exhibition: The World Goes Pop expands the notion of pop art into a far wider geographical context, showing how different cultures and countries contributed to the movement during the 1960s and 70s. In doing so, it becomes clear that the strategies and visual techniques of pop have been applied to issues beyond consumerism, addressing social imbalances, censorship, the role of women, sexual liberation, tradition, war and civil rights.
It presents works by sixty-four artists from twenty-eight countries.
