A new British pop art exhibition open at Christie's, this exhibition is exclusive to British exponents and it have more than 140 works for many artists, for example David Hockney, Eduardo Paolozzi, Allen Jones, Peter Blake and Richard Hamilton. The last one determined the term "pop art", described it as popular, transient, expendable, low-cost, among other. It said that the Pop Art is dominated by American artists, for example by Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, but this exhibition wants show that some Brits artists dominated the term first.
The special thing of this exhibition is that has never been any big British pop art show in the capital, is a remarkable fact, because is said that the Brits started this movement. Only some of the works is for sale, the other works are private or public colection and from the museum, It isn't about auctions, it's about exhibitions, as the Christie's president said.
This show is staged in Christie's, it was Lord Nelson's houses in New Bond Street.
The public will see a work from Hockney, that has been in his family's collection and also, the Hamilton work that show a drugs trial of Mick Jagger and Robert Fraser.
As we said, any work is for sale, but obviously the Cristie's, hopes that will help boost prices for new British pop artists.
I find it interesting even though I do not really like the popart
