Tate Modern | London, UK
This groundbreaking exhibition will explode the traditional story of Pop art, generally seen as an Anglo-American phenomenon.
The World Goes Pop will demonstrate how other artists from around the world contributed, re-thought and responded to the movement.
Focusing on the alternative stories, the exhibition highlights key figures from Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East who are often neglected by mainstream art history. Around 160 works from the 1960s and 1970s will reveal that Pop art was never a simple celebration of Western consumerism, but more often a subversive international language for criticism and public protest.
