This dynamic new volume is the first major survey to chronicle the
emergence and migration of Pop art from an international
perspective, focusing on the period from the 1950s through the
early 1970s. Including original texts from a diverse roster of
contributors, this catalogue provides important new scholarship on
the period, examining production by artists across the globe who
were simultaneously confronting radical cultural and political
developments that would lay the foundation for the emergence of an
art form embracing figuration, media strategies and mechanical
processes with a new spirit of urgency and/or exuberance.
International Pop amplifies the scope and tenor of what we
understand to be `Pop', exposing the tremendous variety and
complexity of this pivotal period and subject matter, and revealing
how artists alternatively celebrated, cannibalized, rejected or
assimilated some of the presumed qualities of Pop advanced in the
US and Britain. Anchored by an expansive 48-page visual chronology,
the book features in-depth essays by a range of scholars examining
developments in Britain, Japan, Brazil, Argentina, Italy and
Hungary as well as Western Europe and the US. The volume includes
some 320 illustrations, including full-color plates of each work in
the exhibition, which integrates many classics of Pop art with
numerous rarely seen works. Among the artists included are Evelyne
Axel, Peter Blake, Raymond Colares, Antonio Dias, Rosalyn Drexler,
Erro, Leon Ferrari, Richard Hamilton, David Hockney, Jasper Johns,
Tanaami Keiichi, Yves Klein, Jiri Kolar, Yayoi Kusama, Nelson
Leirner, Ana Maria Maiolino, Antonio Manuel, Marisol, Marta
Minujin, Claes Oldenburg, Wanda Pimentel, Michaelangelo Pistoletto,
Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter, Mimmo Rotella, Ed Ruscha, Niki de
Saint Phalle, Okamoto Shinjiro, Yokoo Tadanori, Wayne Thiebaud,
Jean Tinguely, Shinohara Ushio and Andy Warhol.
