Cristea Roberts Gallery's 'Pop Revisited' Surveys Five Decades of Pop Art Prints
Cristea Roberts Gallery in London presents 'Pop Revisited', an exhibition of prints and editions spanning fifty years. The show features artists who shaped Pop Art's visual culture, from its postwar origins in Europe and America to its enduring relevance. Richard Hamilton's 1957 definition of Pop Art as 'Popular, Transient, Expendable, Low Cost, Mass Produced, Young, Witty, Sexy, Gimmicky, Glamorous, Big Business' is cited as still pertinent. The exhibition runs this summer, highlighting how the consumerist imagery that inspired mid-century Pop artists persists today.
