With Pop Art’s deep roots in the United States, denizens from cities as wide-ranging as Pasadena, Pittsburgh, and New York have frequent opportunities to see works by the genre’s originators. Now, Mumbai’s Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Center is hosting India’s first exhibition of the genre, featuring foundational works by Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, and Robert Rauschenberg, along with nine other Pop Art masters. Themes of fame, love, and power guide audiences in their understanding of how the U.S.’s key decades of transformation parallel the genre’s rise, and offers a lens through which India’s current era of change can be understood.
