What is Pop Art? - Art Market Terms

Pop Art is a mid-20th-century art movement that emerged as a bold challenge to traditional fine art, incorporating imagery from popular culture, advertising, and mass media. Artists celebrated and critiqued consumer culture through graphic, accessible artistic expressions that blurred boundaries between commercial design and fine art. This movement revolutionized artistic perception, bringing everyday objects and mass media imagery into the realm of high art. Iconic artists associated with the movement are Andy Warhol and Keith Haring.
