Pop Art and Beyond

More about the book

A decade of revisionism has challenged the entrenched view of Pop Art as a largely Anglo-American movement and exposed its international reach. Pop Art and Beyond is the first scholarly exploration of the role of gender, race and class, and their intersection in the production, reception and politics of global manifestations of pop during the Long Sixties. Edited by post-war art scholars Mona Hadler and Kalliopi Minioudaki, the book features an array of rigorous chapters written by acclaimed international experts and emerging scholars who explore the work of over twenty artists. These include practitioners of different cultural, racial and social origins and sexual orientation, including numerous female artists from around the world. By transgressing the borders of individual and national contexts and forsaking Cold War dichotomies and the dominant definition of pop art, Hadler and Minioudaki create a space in which pop can be opened up and a new appreciation of its heterogeneity and politics achieved.
