Summer 2010 - starting June 11, 2010
Pop Life: Art in a Material World explores the complex relationship between contemporary art, marketing, and the mass media that has evolved since the 1980s when Andy Warhol’s uttered his provocative maxim that “being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art.”
Organized by Tate Modern, London, in association with the National Gallery of Canada.
