5.0 out of 5 starsAn excellent historical overview
By Thomas L. on June 28, 2001
Format: Paperback
I own the original edition of this book, first published in the early 70s. I picked it up at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis during a visit there many years ago. My casual interest in pop art has led me to collect a number of books on the subject since then, and this one has remained the definitive work for combining a decent collection of photos with intelligent supporting text. (See Tilman Osterwold's _Pop Art_ for another worthy take on the subject, also available on Amazon.)
Lippard shows herself to be an expert art historian, but thankfully doesn't slide into the pretentiousness and hard-to-read scholarly style that plague other books of the genre.
This book was responsible for igniting my interest in pop art long ago, and I can still recommend it as a great addition to the library of anyone who shares an interest in the subject.

1.0 out of 5 starsBoring! Boring! Boring!
By Roger Clark on December 29, 2011
Format: Paperback
My heart sank as I read this book. Thames and Hudson have achieved the impossible. They've made Pop Art boring - mind-crushingly dull. The book is badly written and pretentious - an object lesson in how not to write about art. In short, if you want to put someone off Pop Art for life give them this book.

The book contains five essays by four critics. Each covers various aspects of Pop Art - British Pop, New York Pop, Pop Art in California, Pop Icons and Pop Art in Europe and Canada. And guess what? This book was first published in 1966. So we're getting on-the-spot reports from people who were there at the time. The book was updated and this is a reprint of the 1970 third edition. So what could go wrong?

The American writer Tom Wolfe put his finger on the problem a few years later. In his famous book "The Painted Word", published in 1975, he railed against pompous and affected art critics. Tom tore them apart in a book that's as witty and relevant today as when it was written. The critics, writing in the Thames and Hudson book here under review, had no chance to read it. They were still stuck in their bad old ways when they could get away with pretentious guff and people would respect them for it. But Tom Wolfe knew what he was talking about. And this book on Pop Art illustrates his strictures to perfection.

Back in the 1960s it must have seemed a good idea to invite the English art critic, Lawrence Alloway, to write the first chapter - The Development of British Pop. After all, he invented the term 'Pop Art.' Alloway knew all the artists and liked their work. Yes, he actually met these art gods, visited their studios and spoke to them! He worked in the United States as well as England, gave lectures, wrote articles and books and organised exhibitions.Read more ›

Good book on an exciting era in pop art. Could use a few more full-color photographs of the art, however.

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect start
By Rodolfo Zentella on June 30, 2008
Format: Paperback
Personally,i loved this book because it is a great begining for those, like me, that know absolutly nothing about pop art. It has a lot of basic information that helps you understand how it started and the ideology of this movement. It is one of my favorite books
