Publisher's Description: The publication accompanied an
exhibition that presented over 80 works of art by 35 artists. Beginning
with Pop Art in the 1960’s, the exhibition explores the influence
of cartoons and comics in contemporary art over three generations of
contemporary art activity. The project traces the use of iconography
and techniques borrowed from the comics and used by artists to point
out and advance their own political, social, racial and cultural
agendas. Among the artists whose work is included in the exhibition
are: Laylah Ali, Michael Ray Charles, Roy Lichtenstein, Takashi
Murakami, Elizabeth Murray, Sigmar Polke, Peter Saul, Kenny Scharf,
Andy Warhol, and many others. Includes essays by Valerie Cassel, Roger
Sabin, and Bernard Welt; a comics timeline by Jamie Colville;
documentation on the artists’ careers.
