It was in England, rather than the USA, that Pop Art was born. Richard Hamilton was one of the trailblazers of this new movement, his collages drawing inspiration from pictures in magazines, advertising and the press.
This work was first presented by the Pinault Collection in the exhibition « Forever Sixties » at the Couvent des Jacobins in Rennes (2023).
