This dynamic new volume is the first major survey to chronicle the emergence and migration of Pop art from an international perspective, focusing on the period from the 1950s through the early 1970s. It provides important new scholarship on the period, examining production by artists across the globe who were simultaneously confronting radical cultural and political developments that would lay the foundation for the emergence of an art form embracing figuration, media strategies and mechanical processes with a new spirit of urgency and/or exuberance. International Pop amplifies the scope and tenor of what we understand to be 'Pop', exposing the tremendous complexity of this pivotal period and subject matter, and revealing how artists alternatively celebrated, cannibalized, rejected or assimilated some of the presumed qualities of Pop advanced in the US and Britain. Anchored by a 48-page visual chronology, the book features original texts by Godfre Leung, Darsie Alexander, Maria Jose Herrera, Claudia Calirman, Erica Battle, Dávid Fehér, Luigia Lonardelli, Hiroko Ikegami, Ed Halter, Charlotte Cotton, Martin Harrison, Tomá Pospiszyl.
