At this year's Armory Show, we are proud to present a curated show of British Pop prints. Each of the selected artists played a key role in the early development of Pop art. All were avid printmakers and chose specifically to use printmaking as a medium, recognising its natural synergy with the mass media world around them and addressing subjects of reproduction and originality, commercial production and the appropriated image. This carefully curated selection of works exhibits elements of social commentary, political activism, and contemporary imagery that typified artistic production in a Britain attempting to emerge from its post-war past, while redefining the parameters of art, in order to look forward. A catalogue accompanies the show, with a specially commissioned easy by Marco Livingstone.
