The world goes pop
This groundbreaking book surveys the concurrent engagements with the spirit of Pop throughout the world, from the frequently studied activity in the United States, England, and France to less well-known developments in Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. One of the first publications to examine Pop art with this global scope, it explores the wide-ranging movements that developed in different continents, such as Nouveau Realisme, Neo Dada, New Figuration, Cronica de la Realidad, and Saqqakhaneh or Spiritual Pop. This unique presentation offers the opportunity to compare how Pop art around the world differed due to geography, local traditions, and different cultures' social and political underpinnings. Fascinating essays touch upon key themes that factored into various Pop movements, including feminism, political representation, sexual politics, and seriality. A bold design and 200 striking illustrations showcase pieces by more than 70 artists, many of whose works have never been exhibited outside their home nations. The book also features a combined interview with a number of the living artists featured within, giving important insight into the thoughts and processes of Pop's international practitioners.

Die Pop Art Tradition - Die Antwort Auf Die Massenkultur
Dieses Buch bietet eine vollig neue Sicht auf die in den 1950er Jahren aufgekommene so genannte \"Pop Art\". Der zentrale Ansatz dieses Buches weitet die schon immer die Verhaltnisse eher verdunkelnde als erhellende Bezeichnung des Terminus \"Pop Art\" aus und befasst sich mit der die Massenkultur thematisierenden Kunst. Die zentrale These dieses Buches lautet, dass diese Massenkultur-Kunst eine neue und noch heute bluhende modernistische Tradition begrundet hat. Es zeichnet diese Tradition uber die mehr als 40 Jahre ihres Bestehens nach und ordnet sie in ihren groeren historischen Kontext ein. Die vorliegende Studie stellt selbstverstndlich die wichtigsten Vertreter der Pop-/Massenkultur-Kunst bis in die Gegenwart vor. Sie diskutiert bei dieser Gelegenheit auch eine Reihe von Knstlern, die bislang noch nicht mit der so genannten \"Pop Art\" in Verbindung gebracht worden sind, die sich aber stark fr die Massenkultur interessiert haben und insofern in den hier umrissenen Kontext gehren. In diesem Buch werden mehr als 150 Schlsselwerke der Pop-/Massenkultur-Kunst in Farbe abgebildet und erlutert. Dies beinhaltet hufig genaue Analysen von Bildern, deren Bedeutung bislang noch nicht vollstndig offen gelegt wurde. Auf diese Weise liegt dieses Buch qualitativ auf einer Ebene mit Eric Shanes' bisherigen populren und mit Preisen ausgezeichneten Schriften.

Andy Warhol’s Silver Liz at the International Celebration of the U.S. Bicentennial in 1976
In 1976, at the moment when the U.S. celebrated the 200th anniversary of the American Revolution, one of its prominent citizens, Pop artist Andy Warhol (1928–1987), enjoyed growing popularity. By turning from a Sixties underground artist into a truly mediated business persona, he inaugurated his Interview magazine, published several books, and began to receive hundreds of commissioned portraits from socialites, film and music stars, and celebrities. Even though some academic research sheds light on the history of the international circulation of Warhol’s oeuvre during the artist’s lifetime and after his death, nothing is still widely known about his contributions to the international celebrations of the U.S. Bicentennial. The current paper aims to fill in this research gap. It examines how and why Warhol’s painting Silver Liz was exhibited in 200 Years of American Painting organized by the U.S. government in Landesmuseum Bonn in 1976 as part of the international celebrations of the U.S. Bicentennial and explains how this show influenced both the artist’s international success and the U.S. Cultural Cold War strategy.

Pop art
Pop Art refers to a post-war movement connecting art with popular culture. Billboard signs, comic books, and movie stars were just some of the subjects chosen by pop artists, such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, and Claes Oldenburg, to name a few, to illustrate the contemporary world in which they lived. Largely characterized by bold and strident colors combined with a cool-eyed appropriation of contemporary imagery, pop art sought to highlight both the negative and positive facets of modern culture.0The newest installment in the Art Essentials series explores this phenomenon, which had its roots in post-war British and American consumerism before spreading and capturing the imagination of young artists. After establishing the origins of the form, the book delves into subjects like the role of stardom and glamor in pop art and how pop art vocabulary grew to include political figures and even war imagery.

Schnecken, Schlitzmonger, and Poltergeist Andy Warhol in German - translations and cultural context
Judging by the art-historical and art-critical reception in the 1960s, it is fair to say that the West German fascination with Andy Warhol was not solely with his work but also with his persona-by way of his published statements.1 From the beginning, he was quoted in the West German press and art-historical literature. The German translations of Warhol's texts mirror the evolution of the critical reception he and his art experienced in West Germany over the course of several decades. His most famous interviews did not need to be translated to be understood. His first two books to be rendered in German, on the other hand, posed unique challenges, and were advertised as American avant-garde literature. The titles he is best known for today appeared in translation only after his death.The way West Germans perceived and discussed contemporary art in the 1960s-the conception even of what qualified as contemporary art-was shaken in its foundations by the appearance of Pop art and, in its wake, of pop culture. From the beginning, Pop art's most controversial American protagonist was Andy Warhol, who divided the West German public on the question of whether his art, films, persona, and statements were critical or affirmative of consumer culture.

Book
The crisis of ugliness : from Cubism to Pop-Art
Mikhail Lifshitz is a major forgotten figure in the tradition of Marxist philosophy and art history. A significant influence on Lukács, and the dedicatee of his The Young Hegel, as well as an unsurpassed scholar of Marx and Engels's writings on art and a lifelong controversialist, Lifshitz's work dealt with topics as various as the philosophy of Marx and the pop aesthetics of Andy Warhol. The Crisis of Ugliness (originally published in Russian by Iskusstvo, 1968), published here in English for the first time, and with a detailed introduction by its translator David Riff, is a compact broadside against modernism in the visual arts that nevertheless resists the dogmatic complacencies of Stalinist aesthetics. Its reentry into English debates on the history of Soviet aesthetics promises to re-orient our sense of the basic coordinates of a Marxist art theory.

Pop Art and the Origins of Post-Modernism
Pop Art and the Origins of Post-Modernism examines the critical reception of Pop Art in America during the 1960s. Comparing the ideas of a group of New York-based critics, including Leo Steinberg, Susan Sontag, and Max Kozloff, among others, Sylvia Harrison demonstrates how their ideas - broadly categorized as either sociological or philosophical - bear a striking similarity to the body of thought and opinion which is now associated with deconstructive post-modernism. Perceived through these disciplinary lenses, Pop Art arises as not only a reflection of the dominance of mass communications and capitalist consumerism in post-war American society, but also a subversive commentary on worldviews and the factors necessary for their formation.
