Lucy R. Lippard on Pop Art by Lucy Lippard

Explore the dynamic world of 1960s Pop Art through Lucy Lippard's insightful analysis in this new addition to the Pocket Perspectives series. Pop Art epitomized the free spirit of the 1960s, blending carnival-like qualities with bold colours and monumental scale, but based on a tough, no-nonsense, no-refinement standard appropriate to its time. Renowned art critic and curator Lucy Lippard's classic, contemporaneous study enriches our understanding of this groundbreaking art movement. Across three chapters, the author first outlines the phenomenon of Pop Art, its antecedents and related styles ranging from folk art, Surrealism and Dada as well as the work of key artists such as Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. She then focuses on Pop Art in New York, discussing key iconic figures including Claes Oldenburg, Jim Dine, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, Andy Warhol and Tom Wesselmann, who appropriated advertising, comics, and the conventions of commercial art and its specific techniques. Finally, Lippard provides an extensive overview of Pop Art's impact and evolution across Europe, particularly in France, Germany and Italy; and Canada, and so touches upon the work of Christo, Mimmo Rotella and many others, including Niki de Saint Phalle and Joyce Weiland, whose work are now experiencing a resurgence of interest.

Lucy R. Lippard is an internationally recognized art critic, activist, writer and curator, noted for her many articles and books on contemporary art including the seminal publication Six Years: The Dematerialization of the Art Object (1973).
