Collection: Pop Art

Pop Art emerged in Britain and the United States during the late 1950s and 1960s, drawing on the imagery of mass culture, advertising, and consumer goods as both subject matter and formal strategy. Associated with figures including Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Hamilton, and Claes Oldenburg, it challenged the hierarchies separating fine art from commercial culture. Its roots in Neo-Dada — particularly the work of Rauschenberg and Johns — and its influence on subsequent Conceptual and appropriation-based practices make it a central node in postwar art history.
