Private View of “POP! Art in a Changing Britain”
| Drawn from the Gallery’s significant collection of British Pop Art, this exhibition explores how artists in Britain in the 1950s and 1960s responded to rapid social change, as Pop Art emerged as a means of addressing the rise of mass media, the cult of celebrity, questions of identity and prevalent political concerns, issues that still resonate today.
M.J. Long OBE is the widow of Prof Sir Colin St. John (Sandy) Wilson RA, whose collection forms the backbone of this exhibition.
