Eduardo Paolozzi (1924-2005) was one of the most innovative and irreverent British artists of the 20th century. Considered the 'godfather' of Pop Art', his powerful sculptures, prints and collages challenged mid-century British modernism by drawing on mass culture, science fiction and industrial design. Accompanying the first major international retrospective of Paolozzi's work since 1975, this publication presents a fresh and comprehensive overview of his work, highlighting not only his unique position as one of Britain's most dynamic, versatile and pugilistic artists, but also the relevance of his work today.

A bold and exciting take on the movement, Pop Art Book explores Pop Art through themes including popular culture, consumerism, literature and politics. It is the first book on Pop Art to take an interactive approach to the subject, including stickers and pop-ups that encourage the reader to take a playful and creative attitude towards the movement.
