Pop Art: Johns, Lichtenstein, Warhol, Wesselmann, et al

A new season at the Margulies Collection brings a focused look at the artists who reshaped visual culture in the second half of the 20th century.

Pop Art: Johns, Lichtenstein, Warhol, Wesselmann, Rosenquist, Chamberlain, Segal presents sculpture and painting from the 1960s through the 1990s, highlighting how leading figures of the movement responded to mass production, advertising and popular imagery. The exhibition features works that range from Roy Lichtenstein’s hand-painted Ben-Day dots to Andy Warhol’s silkscreened Brillo and Campbell’s Soup boxes, tracing the moment when artists began to reimagine everyday objects as fine art.

Additional pieces include Jasper Johns’s thickly textured numerals and George Segal’s Subway, which pairs a salvaged New York City subway car with a life-size plaster figure, underscoring the material experimentation central to Pop. Together, the works illustrate how these artists both embraced and questioned the rise of media and consumer culture.

The exhibition is on view November 12-April 4 at the Margulies Collection at the Warehouse, with extended Miami Art Week hours from Monday through Saturday, December 1-6, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
