About

American Pop considers how artists respond to, appropriate, and critique popular imagery from visual culture in what is now the United States. By incorporating familiar symbols—from both pop culture and art history—the artists in this exhibition interrogate concepts such as consumer culture, settler colonialism, and environmental extraction. While highlighting significant artists from the Pop Art movement of the mid-20th century including Ed Ruscha and Andy Warhol, the exhibition also features a range of artists working more recently, such as Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Tony Abeyta, and Cannupa Hanska Luger.

This exhibition is organized by the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth, and generously supported by the William B. Jaffe and Evelyn A. Hall Fund.
