Zurich – Europop
Well, this surprised me, but apparently Pop Art is a European invention. Forget Warhol and Lichtenstein, London, Paris and, you guessed it, Zurich was the place to be in the 1950s.
And to celebrate that, the art gallery in Zurich is running an exhibition until 12th May.
To quote the gallery’s website:
Art reflects the society in which it is created.
The works in the show are grouped according to chapters and express the concerns of the social milieus on both sides of the Atlantic during the late 1950s and 60s.
There are guided tours on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings.
