Pop America, 1965-1975 accompanies the first traveling exhibition
to stage Pop art as a hemispheric phenomenon. The richly
illustrated catalogue reveals the skill with which Latin American
and Latino/a artists adapted familiar languages of mass media,
fashion, and advertising to create experimental art in a startling
range of mediums. In a new era in hemispheric relations, artists
enacted powerful debates over what "America" was and what Pop art
could do, offering a radical new view onto the postwar "American
way of life" and Pop's presumed political neutrality. Nine essays
grounded in original archival research narrate transnational
accounts of how these artists remade America. The authors connect
the decisive design of the Chicano/a movement in the United States
with the vivid images of the Cuban Revolution and new contributions
to the Mexican printmaking tradition. They follow iconic Pop images
and tactics as they traveled between New York and Sao Paulo, Bogota
and Mexico City, San Francisco and La Habana. Pop art emerges in a
fully American profile, picturing youthful celebration and painful
violence, urban development and rural practices, and pronouncements
of freedom made equally by democratic and repressive regimes. The
bilingual catalogue reconstitutes a network of artists from the
decade, including ASCO, Judith Baca, Eduardo Costa, Antonio Dias,
Marcos Dimas, Felipe Ehrenberg, Rupert Garcia, Nicolas Garcia
Uriburu, Rubens Gerchman, Edgardo Gimenez, Alberto Gironella, Jose
Gomez Fresquet (Fremez), Beatriz Gonzalez, Gronk, Juan Jose
Gurrola, Emilio Hernandez Saavedra, Robert Indiana, Nelson Leirner,
Anna Maria Maiolino, Marisol, Raul Martinez, Cildo Meireles, Marta
Minujin, Helio Oiticica, Dalila Puzzovio, Hugo Rivera Scott, Jorge
de la Vega, and Lance Wyman, among others. Pop America, 1965-1975
will be on display at the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas,
from October 4, 2018 to January 13, 2019; at the Nasher Museum of
