Pop Aesthetics: From Warhol to Hirst to KAWS
February 1 - February 21, 2023 | Reception: February 16, 2023, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Agora Gallery is pleased to present its compelling survey of contemporary pop art directly influenced by the work of Andy Warhol. The exhibition will run from February 1st through 21st, 2023.
The lineage of pop art seems to flow naturally from its relation to the objects and iconography of the mass culture in which it pulls from. However, the most influential contemporary artists producing work that comments on mass culture are certainly doing so while also examining and reevaluating key concepts of the pop art movements that precede them.
