While the irreverence of Pop art is manifest in this exhibit, so are its roots in political commentary. America to prostitution to the activism of Che Guevara. Much of the art also pokes fun at consumerism. Overall, the exhibit satisfied my urge for Pop. Interesting historical epoch, interesting art work, troubling that there aren't any female artists represented, but that's another article.
