Published to accompany the once-in-a-lifetime touring exhibition originating at the Walker Art Center and traveling through 2016 to the Dallas and Philadelphia Museums of Art, respectively, this groundbreaking volume is the first major survey to chronicle the emergence and migration of Pop Art from an international perspective, focusing on the period from the 1950s through the early 1970s.
