Soup to Nuts: Pop Art and
Its Legacy
"Soup
to Nuts: Pop Art and Its Legacy," an exhibition of works by many of
the principal artists associated with the Pop Art movement will be on exhibit
through May 21, 2000 at the J. Wayne Stark University Center Galleries at
Texas A&M University.
Something of an ill-defined, collective love affair with
Pop Art has been raging strong since 1962, the year the movement created
an international media sensation. Pop may now claim the distinction of being
the one modern style widely approved of by a general audience; Andy Warhol
may well have superseded Picasso as the most recognized artist of the 20th
Century.
"Soup
to Nuts" presents works by many of the principal American artists associated
with the movement: Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Rauchenberg, Tom Wesselmann,
Claes Oldenburg, Robert Indiana, and Stuart Davis. Members of the Independent
Group, Peter Blake and Eduardo Paolozzi (who founded the Pop Art movement
in the late 1950s) are shown along with other important British Pop artists:
David Hockney, Patrick Caulfield, Alien Jones, R.D. Kitaj, Joe Tilson; and
Canadians: Greg Curnoe, Joyce Wieland, and Michael Snow. Drawn from the
collections of the University of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, the exhibit
extends to acclaimed contemporary artists such as David Salle, Chuck Close
and Richard Estes. (left: Andy Warhol, Wayne Gretzky 99, 1982,

This exhibition is sponsored by the Eastern Washington
University Foundation and is touring the United States under the auspices
of Exhibit Touring Services (ETS), a traveling exhibition services and a
program in the College of Letters, Arts and Social Sciences at Eastern Washington
University.
