Pop Life: Art in a Material World
‘Good business is the best art,’ Andy Warhol once provocatively claimed. Tate Modern's hit autumn exhibition 'Pop Life' examines how artists since the 1980s have cultivated their public persona as a product, and conjured a dazzling mix of media, commerce and glamour to build their own 'brands'. Beginning with the grandfather of Pop, Andy Warhol, the show includes Jeff Koons's infamous 'Made in Heaven' series and his stainless steel 'Rabbit' sculpture, an iconic array of golden spot and butterfly paintings from Damien Hirst's record‑breaking 2008 auction, and a reconstruction of Keith Haring's 'Pop Shop' in New York. Also included will be works by Richard Prince, Martin Kippenberger, and the notorious YBAs, and a new commission by Takashi Murakami.
