Exhibition scope and collection size

The show brings together more than 130 works by the Pop Art master. The collection includes paintings, drawings, collages, prints, and sculptures created over six decades.

Curators connect artist to digital age

Curators Meg Onli and Alex Da Corte organized the retrospective to highlight the artist's influence on modern imagery. They aim to show how his style relates to today's screen-happy realities.

Show features lesser-known artistic threads

The exhibition unearths lesser-known threads that resemble the artist as he saw himself. It also explores his love for high-low culture alongside his famous comic-inspired canvases.
