Pop Art – 40th Anniversary Edition

by Taschen (Editor)

Pop Art is regarded as one of the most influential movements in modern art. What began as a revolt against mainstream approaches to art and culture evolved into a wholesale interrogation of modern society, consumer culture, and the role of the artist and artwork. From Lichtenstein’s comic-book aesthetics to Warhol’s images of Marilyn, this updated and expanded overview examines the origins, pioneers, and stand-out pieces of a movement which resonates to this day. About the series TASCHEN turns 40 this year! Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible publishing, helping bookworms around the world curate their own library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia at an unbeatable price.

About the author

'Taschen is an art book publisher founded in 1980 by Benedikt Taschen in Cologne, Germany. It began as Taschen Comics publishing Benedikt's extensive comic collection. Taschen has been a noteworthy force in making lesser-seen art available to mainstream bookstores, including some fetishistic imagery, queer art, historical erotica, pornography and adult magazines (including multiple books with Playboy magazine). Taschen has helped bring this art into broader public view, by publishing these potentially controversial volumes alongside its more mainstream books of comics reprints, art photography, painting, design, fashion, advertising history, film, and architecture.' - Wikipedia
