Pop Art

Icons of consumerism, color, and irony – pop art as a cultural revolution.

The book *Pop Art* by Flavia Frigeri offers a brisk and accessible introduction to the movement that brought everyday objects and mass culture into gallery spaces. The author traces the development of pop art from its roots in post-war America and Britain to its global reach in the 1960s, when it became an international phenomenon.

Alongside famous names like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Richard Hamilton, readers will also discover lesser-known but equally important figures such as Ushio Shinohara, Marisol, and Marta Minujín. The book explores themes like advertising, celebrity, everyday life, war, and the “Space Race,” presenting pop art as a movement that defined the aesthetic of modern society.
