Leila Heller Gallery presents Pop Sculpture / Pop Culture, an exhibition of selected three-dimensional works from leaders of the Pop sculpture movement, on view from September 18 - November 15 at our 43 West 57th Street location. The exhibition presents iconic sculptures by the most prominent Pop sculptors from the 60s to the contemporary artists whom they have influenced.
 
Pop Sculpture / Pop Culture marks the 100th anniversary of Marcel Duchamp’s “readymades” of 1914, which influenced the entire school of Pop and inspired artists thereafter to further develop the themes he initiated. But Pop is also a testament to its times, the 1950s and ‘60s as well as the modern day. Both eras saw a radical shift to an increasingly mass-produced, commoditized, and packaged lifestyle. Without morals or metaphors, Pop documents this historical era in which the object is re-evaluated for its aesthetics and ubiquity above its function.
Pop Sculpture / Pop Culture celebrates the spirit of common object and the evolution of its representation in three-dimensional form for the past 50 years.

On view until November 15th, 2014
