Following the gallery’s January 2016 exhibition, This is Today, This Was Tomorrow featuring many of the same artists opens on 30 October 2016 – 19 February 2017 at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg. As This is Today, it brings together not only painting, sculpture, collage, architecture, drawing and installation, but also film, music, television and photography in one multimedia, spatial mise-en-scène, to create a comprehensive panorama of Pop Art in Great Britain. The show ranges from Eduardo Paolozzi’s early Parisian collages produced in 1947 to the climax and culmination of “Swinging London”. The exhibition’s broad scope enables visitors to experience the artistic and cultural historical significance of British Pop Art with all their senses, while presenting this period as an essential prehistory of our own present day.
