Pop Art in 7 Minutes: True Art or Mass Market? 🤔

Күн бұрын

What comes to your mind when you hear the phrase Pop Art? If the first thing you think of is Andy Warhol and cans of Campbell’s Soup, you aren't alone. The 1962 series depicting different flavors of that popular meal is one of the most iconic works of not just Pop Art but modern art in general. What makes Pop Art so special? How did a single picture of a $1.48 can of soup end up costing $11.8 million at auction in 2006? In our new episode, we will give you an overview of everything Pop Art: how it emerged, who was involved, what role it played in history, and what the deal was with all those soup cans and Coca-Cola bottles.

Ppp art is so courful that we love it as it gives us energy and optimism but did the artists reached their point when they wanted to denounce consumerism ? I m not so sure ....

I heard that back in May Andy Warhol’s "Shot Sage Blue Marilyn" fetched at a record high of $195 million at Christie's, making it the most expensive of all the 20th century artworks. 🤑🤑

I like the British version but I find myself repulsed by the American. Taking adds and turning them into collages to make a statement is genius but simply copying pasting can soup is too much.

I kinda like pop art, but I like more complex art as well, where I can guess what technique the artist used. Like impressionism, realist-style paintings and such.

What I would like to see more of on your amazing channel in the future is the beauty of minimalist and hyperrealist art works. I've heard they both emerged around the same time as Andy Warhol became known. Your partiality for pop art and Andy Warhol may lead to their potential strong protests.😒 Can't you hear Dan Flavin clamouring for your attention, snapping his fingers? "Hello, Curious Muse! love me please. I am no less a great post modern artist than Andy Warhol . Let your room be flooded with colorful light, will you?" Hehe😉😁

Pop art has become so incredibly saturated. I’ve seen this style my whole life, abused and misused. I do think it has its unique flairs (colors, designs) but there’s a lack of imagination running through its thread. The fucking can of soup is not creative in the least. It’s lazy. I’d scream it was the end of art, too, if I was an old head at the time. And to hear critics initially considered it a flop further validates such a point. Geesh. I’m so mad to discover this is the source of all our American mainstream “artistic” nonsense 😡

It’s a parody of consumer culture and its place in history. Nothing more. Parody and deep criticism of deep superficiality. You could say that Oscar Wilde hinted the coming of Pop in Lord Henry’s sarcasm during a dinner conversation at Dorian Gray’s talking about the business of dry fruit in America: “What is dry fruit? - American literature” replies Lord Henry.

I love the way the creator of this episode AVOIDS mentioning the Warhol subject who has garnered the most for Christies's and Sotheby's, as well as from private sales, a total of US$375,000,000. That is more, much more, than a quarter of a billion dollars. Incredible that someone can do research on Warhol and PURPOSEDLY miss the following silkscreens, mentioned as they are here, in increasing value i) "Double Elvis" US$0.7m, ii) "Elvis Campbell" US$1.4m,. then US2,8m,'' iii) "Triple Elvis", USD 1,8m, iv) "Red Elvis" US$2.9m v) "Single Elvis " US$3.5m, vi) "Elvis I and II", US$15,7m, vii) "Elvis 2X US$37.03 viii) "Double Elvis", US$37.1m, then US$37m, ix) Double Elvis US$53m. x) "Triple Elvis" US$81.9m and xi) "Eight Elvises" US$100m. In fact, of the SIX top selling Warhol silkscreens, EVER, 2 have Elvis as a subject

Lichtenstein's pieces came from DC Romance comics and DC War comics... AFAIK, he NEVER used Marvel images. Also, he stole the ideas WHOLE CLOTH from the DC comics and never gave credit to the original artist. Sure, he made them larger and hand painted them, but so what? They were still the same images found in the comics. At least Warhol reimagines his images with color and repetition. Lichtenstein just STEALS and the major art dealers... Christie's etc,... get rich from his stolen BS ideas.
