_Pop Art and Beyond _foregrounds the roles of gender, race, and class
in encounters with Pop during the Long Sixties. Exploring the work of
over 20 artists from 5 continents, it offers new perspectives on Pop's
heterogeneity. Featuring an array of rigorous chapters written by both
acclaimed experts and emerging scholars, this anthology transcends the
borders of individual and national contexts, and suspends hierarchies
creating a space for the work of artists like Andy Warhol and the
women of the Black Arts Movement to converse. It casts an inclusive
look at the intersectional complexities of difference in Pop at a
moment that gave rise to a plethora of radical social movements and
identity politics.
While this book introduces revelatory non-canonical artists into the
Pop context or amplifies the careers of others, it is not limited to
the confines of fine art. Chapters explore the intersecting variables
of oppression and liberation in rituals of youth subcultures as well
as practices across media with Pop sources and parallels ranging from
Native American objects, Harlem advertisements, and Cordel literature,
to stand-up comedy, music, fashion, and design. _Pop Art and Beyond_
thus widens the conversation about what Pop was and what it can be for
current art in its struggle for social justice and critiques of power.
