Pop Art Gallery | Pop Art Exhibition, Chester Visual Arts

The V&A Pop Art in Print Exhibition is the first in a series of visual arts interventions into underused buildings in the City and the initial aim is to contribute to the renewed cultural vibrancy brought about by the opening of Storyhouse and the Cathedral’s arts programme. The exhibition includes prints by iconic pop artists Peter Blake, Andy Warhol, Richard Hamilton and Roy Lichtenstein

Vibrant, sexy, cool, and very much of the moment, Pop Art emerged in the USA and the UK in the early 1960s. Inspired by movies, pop music, TV, advertising, magazines and comics, postcards and packaging.

Pop reflected a fascination with celebrities and brands which has continued to the present day. At the same time, by addressing key political issues of the time, Pop Art also offered a suitable critique of consumerism and the American dream.
