Pop Art by the BBC's Alastair Sooke - an essential but snappy new guide to our favourite art movement
Pop Art is the most important 20th-century art movement. It brought Modernism to the masses, making art sexy and fun with coke cans and comics. Today, in our age of selfies and social networking, we are still living in a world defined by Pop.
Full of brand new interviews and research, Sooke describes the great works by Warhol, Lichtenstein and other key figures, but also re-examines the movement for the 21st century and asks if it is still art? He reveals a global story, tracing Pop's surprising origins in 19th-century Paris to uncovering the forgotten female artists of the 1960s.

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Pop Art was arguably the most important art movement of the twentieth century. By shifting attention from the exalted to the everyday, it brought Modernism to the masses and made art sexy, glamorous and fun by focusing upon Coke cans, film stars and comics. And today, in our age of selfies and social networking, its influence is visible all around us. Drawing upon brand new interviews with the most important living Pop artists, widely acclaimed art historian Alastair Sooke not only explores the great works by Warhol, Lichtenstein and their familiar contemporaries; he also reveals the artists who were crucial at the time yet are now often forgotten, including Marisol Escobar, who once attracted more publicity even than Warhol, and Rosalyn Drexler, a former professional wrestler. And Pop Art wasn't just about New York- it was invented in London and had important centres on the West Coast of America and in Europe. Sooke tells the overlooked global story of Pop, and examines its afterlife around the world today, through the work of contemporary artists such as Christian Marclay and Ryan Trecartin. Full of fascinating details about the artists' lives, and recreating the world they inhabited, this succinct yet all-encompassing new history will make you see the world of the Pop artists - our everyday world - with fresh eyes. 'Sooke is an immensely engaging character. He has none of the weighty self-regard that often afflicts art experts and critics; rather he approaches his subjects with a questioning, open, exploratory attitude.' The Times 'A brilliant account . . . so poetically precise in its evocations of the cut-outs . . . so tender in its sympathy.' Peter Conrad on Henri Matisse- A Second Life Featuring interviews and research, the author describes the great works by Warhol, Lichtenstein and other key figures, but also re-examines the movement for the 21st century and asks if it is still art? He reveals a global story, tracing Pop's surprising origins in 19th-century Paris to uncovering the forgotten female artists of the 1960s.
