OPENING CELEBRATION
YOU ARE ALSO INVITED TO
In the 1960s, art for the first time embraced the candy-colored
concerns of commercial culture, advertising, and mass media.
Pop Departures presents the bold visions of the American
Pop art movement, including icons such as Andy Warhol, Roy
Lichtenstein, and Claes Oldbenburg.
If you are unable to join us for the Opening Celebration,
please consider attending a different member event for
the opening of Pop Departures:
With humor and irony, the exhibition blows open our notions
of Pop and charts subsequent generations of artists from
the 1980s and today for whom Pop art was an inspiration.
