Pop Art

No other artistic movement of the twentieth century is more closely intertwined with the visual culture of our time than Pop Art, and a fundamental aspect of this art form was its dialogue with design. Pop Art Design is the first comprehensive examination of the reciprocal influence of these two disciplines. Containing over 170 illustrations, the book juxtaposes key works of Pop Art by such figures as Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, Roy Lichtenstein, Ed Ruscha, Richard Hamilton, and other artists with works by designers from the same era, including Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, or Ettore Sottsass. These are complemented by many additional images from the areas of everyday culture, interior design, and contemporary history.
