In the early 1960s, American artists increasingly drew on popular imagery, commercial signage, and product design as source material and creative inspiration. Their work, soon coined Pop Art, often mimicked the means of mechanical reproduction associated with mass culture. This exhibition focuses on duplications in the art of Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, Wayne Thiebaud, and Andy Warhol. It includes works produced in multiple, such as Warhol’s Mao Tse-Tung series, as well as single compositions featuring duplicate visual elements. The exhibition accompanies Professor Richard Meyer’s Spring 2015 advanced undergraduate course on Pop Art.
