The exhibition Swiss Pop Art at Aargauer Kunsthaus in spring 2017
is the first-ever comprehensive overview of Pop Art in Switzerland.
For the Swiss art scene in the 1960s and early 1970s, this
international movement was of pivotal importance. Artists such as
Susi and Ueli Berger, Fernando Bordoni, Carl Bucher, Emilienne
Farny, Bendicht Fivian, Franz Gertsch, Margrit Jaggli, Urs Luthi,
Markus Muller, Markus Raetz, and Peter Stampfli took up the trends
coming from the US and Britain with great interest. Impressed by
the Pop Art movement's provocative images and new motifs, they
created works that sometimes borrowed strongly from their models,
yet also using them to develop their own artistic language. This
new book coincides with the exhibition, exploring the
particularities of Swiss forms of Pop Art and looking not only at
visual art but also examining various links to design, art in
public space, photography, film, fashion, and music. Featuring a
wealth of works by Swiss protagonists of the Pop Art movement, it
offers as well an illustrated chronology of the period that was
politically, socially, and artistically exceptionally lively in
Switzerland as much as in many other countries. Swiss Pop Art,
Aargauer Kunsthaus, Aarau, Switzerland, 6 May to 30 October 2017.
