This dynamic new volume is the first major survey to chronicle the emergence and

migration of Pop art from an international perspective, focusing on the period from

the 1950s through the early 1970s. Including original texts from a diverse roster

of contributors, this catalogue provides important new scholarship on the period,

examining production by artists across the globe who were simultaneously confronting

radical cultural and political developments that would lay the foundation for the

emergence of an art form embracing figuration, media strategies and mechanical

processes with a new spirit of urgency and/or exuberance.

International Pop

amplifies

the scope and tenor of what we understand to be 'Pop', exposing the tremendous

variety and complexity of this pivotal period and subject matter, and revealing how

artists alternatively celebrated, cannibalized, rejected or assimilated some of the

presumed qualities of Pop advanced in the US and Britain. Anchored by an expansive

48-page visual chronology, the book features in-depth essays by a range of scholars

examining developments in Britain, Japan, Brazil, Argentina, Italy and Hungary as well

as Western Europe and the US. The volume includes some 320 illustrations, including

full-color plates of each work in the exhibition, which integrates many classics of Pop

art with numerous rarely seen works. Among the artists included are Evelyne Axel,

Peter Blake, Raymond Colares, Antônio Dias, Rosalyn Drexler, Erró, León Ferrari, Richard

Hamilton, David Hockney, Jasper Johns, Tanaami Keiichi, Yves Klein, Jirí Kolár, Yayoi

Kusama, Nelson Leirner, Ana Maria Maiolino, Antonio Manuel, Marisol, Marta Minujín,

Claes Oldenburg, Wanda Pimentel, Michaelangelo Pistoletto, Sigmar Polke, Gerhard

Richter, Mimmo Rotella, Ed Ruscha, Niki de Saint Phalle, Okamoto Shinjiro, Yokoo

Tadanori, Wayne Thiebaud, Jean Tinguely, Shinohara Ushio and Andy Warhol.
