A clear and engaging survey of Pop art, from its origins in the early 1960s to its ongoing incarnations today.
The insightful text places Pop art within its cultural context, and is illustrated with works by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, David Hockney, Ed Ruscha, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Indiana, James Rosenquist and Tom Wessleman amongst others.
Contains more than 200 colour illustrations, glossary, biographies, chronology, maps and a further reading list.
This popular theme is a welcome addition to Phaidon's respected Art & Ideas series and will appeal to students and academics as much as the general reader.

Industry Reviews

"There are numerous books that survey Pop art [...] what does Collins' book add to the existing discussion? It's a brave move by any publisher, but, in fact, Collins' text skilfully moves through the different eras of Pop starting with its early emergence in 1952 and finishing in 1990... Critically aware, this book offers a historical overview."-Aesthetica On the Art & Ideas series "Art & Ideas has broken new ground in making accessible authoritative views on periods, movements and concepts in art. As a series it represents a real advance in publishing."-Sir Nicholas Serota, Director, Tate London "The format is wonderful and offers what had long been missing in academic studies: usable manuals for specific themes or periods... I am definitely not alone in welcoming Art & Ideas as a precious set of teaching tools."-Joachim Pissarro, Yale University "Phaidon's series may prove to be the pick of the crop. It boasts expert but undogmatic texts and a wealth of illustrations."-The Sunday Telegraph
