From the early 1960s through the early 70s, Pop art swept the industrialized world. Iconoclastic, rebellious and immediately popular, the new movement found its roots in an unprecedentedly prosperous consumer society. Encouraged by galleries and publishers who catered to a new collectors' market, many Pop artists were drawn to the creation of editions on paper and in multiples. 60 vibrant examples by such American icons as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, and by such European artists as Richard Hamilton, Nikki de Saint Phalle, Gerhard Richter, Eduardo Paolozzi and Sigmar Polke, are organized according to the themes of mass media consumer culture, politics, erotica and more.
