Highlighting intersections of gender, race, and class and their explosive encounters with Pop Art during the Long Sixties, this book offers a new global reading of Pop for the 21st century. 'a brilliant and important corrective to much writing on Pop art' - Jo Applin, The Courtauld Institute of Art, London Featuring an array of rigorous chapters written by both acclaimed experts and emerging scholars, Pop Art and Beyond transcends the borders of individual and national contexts, and suspends hierarchies to create a space for the work of artists like Andy Warhol and the women of the Black Arts Movement to converse. Exploring the work of over 20 artists from 5 continents, it features case-studies from a variety of global contexts, from the relationship between Malick Sidibé and James Brown in 1960s Bamako, and the work of female artists in 1960s Yugoslavia, through to printmaking in Brazil, Pop's influence in Japan, and the politics of race in Frank Bowling's controversial 1960s series Mother's House. In casting such an inclusive look at the intersectional complexities of difference in Pop at a moment that gave rise to a plethora of radical social movements and identity politics, it offers bold new perspectives on Pop's heterogeneity. While this book introduces revelatory non-canonical artists into the Pop context or amplifies the careers of others, it is not limited to the confines of fine art. Chapters explore the intersecting variables of oppression and liberation in rituals of youth subcultures as well as practices across media with Pop sources and parallels ranging from Native American objects, Harlem advertisements, and Cordel literature, to stand-up comedy, music, fashion, and design. Pop Art and Beyond thus widens the conversation about what Pop was and what it can be for contemporary art in its struggle for social justice and critiques of power.
