Reviews
There are numerous books that survey Pop art [...] what does Collins' book add to the existing discussion? It's a brave move by any publisher, but, in fact, Collins' text skilfully moves through the different eras of Pop starting with its early emergence in 1952 and finishing in 1990... Critically aware, this book offers a historical overview. -Aesthetica On the Art & Ideas series Art & Ideas has broken new ground in making accessible authoritative views on periods, movements and concepts in art. As a series it represents a real advance in publishing. -Sir Nicholas Serota, Director, Tate London The format is wonderful and offers what had long been missing in academic studies: usable manuals for specific themes or periods... I am definitely not alone in welcoming Art & Ideas as a precious set of teaching tools. -Joachim Pissarro, Yale University Phaidon's series may prove to be the pick of the crop. It boasts expert but undogmatic texts and a wealth of illustrations. -The Sunday Telegraph
