This exhibition at
the Saatchi Gallery brings together a couple of hundred works by 110 artists
from China, the Former Soviet Union, Taiwan, the UK and the USA, celebrating
Pop Art's legacy.
Post Pop: East
Meets West examines why Pop Art has had such a powerful influence over artists
from world regions that have had very different and sometimes opposing
ideologies.
This has been my
favourite exhibition of the year so far. I couldn’t believe that the whole
exhibition is free! I’ve paid for exhibitions that haven’t been half as
interesting! A few of the stand out pieces within the gallery for me are:
- Jeff
Koons … Three Ball Total Equilibrium Tank
- Alexander Kosolapov's Hero, Leader, God
- Gu Wenda's United
Nations: Man and Space (Made of human hair, white glue and burlap)
- Tom Sachs Nutsy’s McDonald’s
- Rostislav Lebedev’s A Dream Comes True
- Leonid
Sokov’s Two Profiles (Stalin and Marilyn)
- Vitaly
Komar & Alexanfer Melamids Post-art No 1 (Warhol)
- Wang
Guangyi’s Great Criticism
If you get a
chance to check this exhibition out before it closes on February 23rd,
do it. It’s definitely worth it!
I couldn’t
help but to photograph pretty much everything in the gallery, so here’s a few
of those pics:
