Placing European and American Pop Art in conversation, this vibrant exhibition catalog reveals how European artists transformed the movement into a distinctly international phenomenon. Long regarded as an American movement, Pop Art also flourished across Europe, where painters and sculptors embraced the imagery of mass media, consumer culture, and popular entertainment while reshaping it to reflect their own social, political, and cultural realities. Europe in Pop Fever brings together more than 70 paintings and sculptures by more than 20 artists, pairing numerous works by groundbreaking European figures—from Erró to Sigmar Polke—with carefully selected examples of influential American contemporaries such as Andy Warhol, Alex Katz, John Chamberlain, and William Copley. Readers encounter striking interpretations of advertising, fashion, celebrity and politics in works by Gerhard Richter, Niki de Saint-Phalle, Bernard Rancillac, and many others. Viewed together, these works demonstrate that European Pop was a radical reinvention that broadened the scope and ambition of one of the twentieth century’s defining artistic developments. Explores the vibrant exchange between European and American Pop Art Showcases over 70 works by 20 European painters who reinterpreted the movement Insightful essays examine the artistic and political ramifications of European Pop Art Lavishly illustrated with 150 reproductions allowing readers to appreciate every detail Perfect for art lovers and anyone fascinated by Pop Art and consumer culture Both an engaging introduction and a rewarding resource for enthusiasts, this volume presents the story of European Pop as one of innovation, influence, and reinvention.
