Pop Art Design

As the most influential art movement since 1945, Pop Art continues to shape our visual culture to this day. A central preoccupation was the dialogue with design, which is being extensively investigated for the first time by the present volume, published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name. Key works of Pop Art are confronted with design objects from the same period, complemented by numerous illustrations from everyday culture, interior design and contemporary history. The opulent image spreads are accompanied by comprehensive essays from renowned experts. They document how artists and designers availed themselves of similar motifs and strategies. Objects of everyday use were adopted as art motifs and artists utilised industrial processes while designers made use of artistic means such as quotes, collage and irony. With over 300 illustrations, the book paints a picture of the Pop era that finally gives proper recognition to the central role played by design - a kaleidoscope through which Pop Art is rediscovered!
