In the 1960s and '70s, the whole world went Pop but many of our most familiar images from this period, the Warhols and Lichtensteins and the like, are Western-centric. In reality, the movement was much larger, resonating from Asia to Africa to South America, and these often-overlooked pieces are important, offering a fascinating, critical POV on modern commercialism. Tate Modern has brought together 160 of them together, showcasing artists spanning the globe, celebrating how different cultures reacted to Pop in their new show The EY Exhibition: The World Goes Pop.
