Davenport furnished the homes of the richest Americans during what we now call the Gilded Age.

- Why did Pop art start?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Pop art started because artists sought to react to the mass consumerism of the 1950s with the goal of putting popular culture on the same level as so-called high culture. Works associated with Pop art are distinguished by their bold imagery, bright colors and seemingly commonplace subject matter. Practitioners endeavored to challenge the status quo. Pop artists broke with the perceived elitism of the previously dominant Abstract Expressionism and made pointed statements about current events. Richard Hamilton's 1956 collage ‘Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing?’ is widely believed to have kickstarted this unconventional new style, but Pop art is perhaps most closely identified with American Pop artists Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of Pop art.
- Who is the father of Pop art?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024Opinions vary on who the father of Pop art may be. Pop art emerged in the 1950s in Britain and flourished in 1960s-era America as a reaction to postwar mass consumerism. Some argue that Andy Warhol deserves the title because he helped shape the movement during the 1960s. However, other artists like Eduardo Paolozzi and Richard Hamilton began producing what’s now considered Pop art a decade earlier. Other artists who made important contributions to Pop art include Marta Minujín, Claes Oldenburg, Rosalyn Drexler, James Rosenquist, Peter Blake and Roy Lichtenstein. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Pop Art.
- Is Pop Art postmodern?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
Yes, Pop art is considered postmodern.
- Who was the founder of Pop art?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024There was no single founder of Pop art, as many artists contributed to the development of the movement. Richard Hamilton’s 1956 collage Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing? is widely believed to have kickstarted the unconventional new style. Although Hamilton and other British artists launched the movement, they were soon overshadowed by their American counterparts.
Pop art is perhaps most closely identified with American artist Andy Warhol, whose clever appropriation of motifs and images helped to transform the artistic style into a lifestyle. Roy Lichtenstein was another prominent American Pop artist. Much like Warhol, Lichtenstein drew his subjects from print media, particularly comic strips, producing paintings and sculptures characterized by primary colors, bold outlines and halftone dots, elements appropriated from commercial printing.

- Why is it called Pop art?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024The reason why it is called Pop art is that artists who participated in the movement drew inspiration from popular, or "pop," culture. One of the most influential contemporary art movements, Pop art emerged in the 1950s. Its practitioners sought to challenge the status quo, breaking with the perceived elitism of the previously dominant Abstract Expressionism and making statements about current events.

- 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024Who is considered the father of Pop art is open for debate. Some experts give the title to Andy Warhol, whose clever appropriation of motifs and images helped to transform the artistic style into a lifestyle. Others may argue that Roy Lichtenstein deserves the credit, as his work drawing from print media helped to define the style. Another potential candidate is Richard Hamilton, whose 1956 collage Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing? is widely believed to have kickstarted the Pop art movement. Shop a diverse assortment of Pop art on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024Opinions vary as to what the most famous piece of Pop art is. Two major contenders for the title are Andy Warhol's 1961–62 series Campbell's Soup Cans and Roy Lichtenstein's 1963 diptych painting Whaam!. Other notable Pop art works include A Bigger Splash by David Hockney, Flag by Jasper Johns, Crying Girl by Roy Lichtenstein, Radiant Baby by Keith Haring, the Marilyn Triptych by Andy Warhol, and Spoonbridge and Cherry by Claes Oldenburg.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023The bright colors and graphic patterns and imagery of Pop art continue to influence fashion, prompting the industry’s designers to integrate provocative color pairings and visuals commonly associated with mass media and advertising into their garments. You can see examples of this in iconic pieces by Pierre Cardin, Mary Quant and Vivienne Westwood as well as in the work of many contemporary designers. Specifically, the well-known portraits that Andy Warhol created of celebrities and pop culture figures made their way into fashion by designers who incorporated images of popular celebrities into their clothing designs.
