London – Great Pop Art thanks to an Italian curator

The exhibition “The World Goes Pop” opens tomorrow at London’s Tate Gallery, touching off the fall art season. A total of 160 works – five of which from Italy – were brought together, as co-curator Flavia Frigeri explained, “to reconsider the idea of Pop Art and, since we all know Andy Warhol or Roy Lichtenstein, and to show that were not the only ones”.  Her research of many years brought her to countries such as Brazil, Argentina and Slovakia where the “movements were often absolutely independent from the American one”. The Tate Modern will also be hosting a film series in October entitled “If Arte Povera was Pop”, dedicated to experimental Italian cinema of the 1960s and 70s. Read more, in Italian.
