November 20, 2009 to February 7, 2010 Pop Prints is an exhibition drawn from the Vancouver Art Gallery’s permanent collection that features work by such recognised artists as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, David Hockney, Robert Indiana and others. Surveying the work of artists associated internationally with the Pop Movement, this exhibition offers the opportunity to consider Canadian artists like Betty Goodwin, N.E. Thing Co., Greg Curnoe, Michael Morris and others, “who adopted and adapted the idiom of Pop art, alongside their American and British counterparts, in ways that strongly influenced a new generation of Canadian artists right up to the close of the twentieth century.” (Jordan Strom, Pop Prints. (Vancouver: Vancouver Art Gallery) 2008).
