Pop Art
The supermarket as chapel
The soup can, the comic panel, the movie star: Pop treats the supermarket and the television as the new nature.
Hamilton in London asks what makes today’s homes so different, so appealing. Warhol in New York answers with a factory. Lichtenstein answers with a Ben-Day dot the size of a feeling.
After Abstract Expressionism’s confession, Pop puts on sunglasses.
