Pop Forever, Tom Wesselmann & …
WHAT
A large-scale group exhibition dedicated to Pop Art, the show is centred around Tom Wesselmann (1931-2004) – one of the leading figures of the movement, which gained momentum as one of the major artistic movements of the 1960s. In addition to a selection of 150 paintings and works in various materials by Wesselmann, it also features 70 works by 35 artists of different generations and nationalities who share a common sensibility for ‘Pop’ – from its Dadaist roots to its contemporary manifestations, and from the 1920s to the present day.
