From Warhol to Banksy invites visitors to view works of art that define the Pop Art movement and highlights the careers of some of the art world’s most iconic figures. This exhibition features works by artists Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Tom Wesselmann, Takashi Murakami, Banksy, and Mr. Brainwash. Pop Art, known for its commentary on consumerism, social consciousness, and, more recently, activism, is not just a phenomenon of the 1960s. The evolution of Pop Art, from Andy Warhol’s infamous Marilyn Monroe screen prints to Banksy’s guerilla street art, has completely blurred the lines between high and low art. Through a selection of prints, paintings, sculpture, and ephemera, visitors will see first-hand how Pop Art continues to critique our world and challenges us to think about the issues that persist in our everyday life.

This exhibition is complemented by a selection of works drawn from the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria’s Permanent Collection.

The AGGV will also feature the first Victoria screening of the 2017 HBO documentary “Brillo Box (3 ¢ off)” directed by Lisanne Skylar in the Drury Gallery for the length of the exhibition. Blending humorous personal narrative with Pop Art history, the film follows an Andy Warhol sculpture as it makes its way from a New York family’s living room to a record-breaking Christie’s auction, exploring the ephemeral nature of art and value, and the decisions that shape family history. “Brillo Box (3¢ off)” was an official selection of the 54th New York Film Festival and short-listed for an Oscar.
