Pop!
Jun 29, 2024 - Jun 29, 2025
Pop art emerged from the booming consumer culture of the United States post-World War II, adapting the imagery and visual excitement of advertising. Surrounded by sleek hotrods, green suburban lawns, and brightly colored billboards, pop artists reveled in the eye-catching aesthetics of their moment. They aimed to create art that reflected modern American culture by referencing not only contemporary people and places but also objects and media not traditionally considered art at all. Combining bold colors and familiar subjects—taken from everyday life and mass-produced goods—with carefully chosen materials, textures, and compositions, pop artists challenged traditional definitions of fine art. Whether humorous, celebratory, or scathing, pop art immortalizes a key moment in American history. This exhibition features loans from New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art with one additional work from WAM’s collection.
