Pop Study Day - Tate Modern

Professor David Alan Mellor recently spoke about English Pop at Roy Lichtenstein conference at Tate Modern. Embedded in English Pop-related art in the 60s, was a project which might be described as ‘popular modernization, with English characteristics’. These thematics include whimsy, satire and abjection- standing in marked contrast to US Pop. Mellor looked at the work of Nicholas Ferguson, Derek Boshier and Bruce Lacey.
