The exhibition is a plunge in the 1960s, A reflection on what these "pop" years have brought and continue to inspire aesthetically. A look is placed sixty years later, On this so -called company, sometimes with irony, "happy", To better understand what could be lacking in ours. Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein dialogue with William Klein, David La Chapelle or Nina Childress.
The singularity of "pop" is defined as an artistic movement linked to the appearance of a mass culture. The artist is no longer this loner, producing elitist works. It's a man, a woman, words, Images for magazines ... "pop" works, in their almost industrial character, nourished by the new iconography brought by the consumer society, Manifest this link with the most democratic forms of culture.
The majority of the parts presented come from the Carmignac Foundation, galleries and private collections.
