The Pop Art Design book is a comprehensive documentation of a Vitra Design Museum exhibition. It shows significant works by renowned artists and designers such as Warhol, Eames and Castiglioni. 300 illustrations, and its analysis shed a light of the profound relationship between Pop Art and everyday design and culture. The Vitra Design Museum’s 2012 exhibition explored the history of that connection. I showcased rarely seen works alongside iconic pieces by major figures such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Charles and Ray Eames, and Ettore Sottsass – while highlighting the central role of design in the Pop movement, offering insights into this aspect of Pop Art’s legacy. Essays and analysis from renowned authors and Pop Art experts, including Marco Livingstone, Steven Heller and Mathias Schwartz-Clauss (the exhibition’s curator).
