Oct 17, 2024 — Feb 24, 2025 | Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris, France

From 17 October 2024 to 24 February 2025, Fondation Louis Vuitton will present “Pop Forever, Tom Wesselmann & …”, an exhibition dedicated to Pop Art, one of the major artistic movements of the 1960s, whose influence continues to be felt across all continents and amongst all generations.

The exhibition will be centered around Tom Wesselmann (1931-2004) – one of the leading figures of the movement — through a selection of 150 paintings and works in various materials. The exhibition will also feature 70 works by 35 artists of different generations and nationalities who share a common sensibility for “Pop” – from its Dadaist roots to its contemporary manifestations, and from the 1920s to the present day. […]

According to the exhibition’s guest curators Dieter Buchhart and Anna Karina Hofbauer, more than just a retrospective, “Pop Forever, Tom Wesselmann &… will contextualize Tom Wesselmann’s work within art history, and offer fascinating perspectives on Pop Art, past, present and even future”.
