Pop Art Myth, opens with several collage by Pop Art artists like Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warold, 
Robert Rauschenberg etc. They have introduced on their works artist who have become a myth and have achieve sucess in the dream factory, like Marilyn Monoe ,Marlon Brondo. For Pop Art any image was recyclable and every object could become art . and that is What the artists like Andy Warold did . The object which have existed during the late 50's and early 60's.

  The exhibition is divided in many section which is related with the type of art which is presented.
I think that this exhibition is very productive and very complex at the same time. Because there are a lot of pieces with different compositions and various forms of reperesentation. For example we pass from a collage to a painting. Through the pieces we saw the particular characterictic of each artists.
The particularity which make this exhibition very interressnte is the presence of the color on all pieces . This gives an illumination.Personally, I think that in this exhibition that nothing it missing. All the pieces are appropriated because they have a good esthetic.
The works that i value the most are the ones where there is Marilyn Monroe. 

I would like to emphasize most on the fact that there are animated character who are represented. For example Mickey Moose is very present on many pieces.It brings a diversity on the exhibition . It enables different types of people from different ages to enjoy art.

Look Mickey, 1961

                                         

I have chosen  this pieces by Wolf Vostell, called Marilyn Idol. First i would like to say more about Wolf Vostell. Wolf was an german a painter and sculptor . He is known because he is the pioneer of the fluxus movement (contempory art) and of his technical like the De-coll/age. In particular the piece which called Marilyn Idol.

Wolf Vostell

First it seems that the piece is very interesting. Because it is made by collage ( the artist have superposed different image) and decollage . It´s a  very personal work and he has surpassed the limits of the original. The papers which are used seems to be the page of many magazine where Marilyn Monroe appears. The artist have made a decollage, we can see that because the is some part of de collage which is riped .This collage give an effect of something vintage and the unfinished work. It also shows that Marilyn Monroe is more than icon she is a myth.And that she appears in many magazine.

The color of this work are very equal . In order words the artist stayed in the same tone of color.

This exhibition is very interesting because we learn a lot on the technical of many artist.And i would advise you to go on the interactive visit.
