When Pop Art exploded in the USA in the 1960s, the art world changed forever. At the forefront of the movement was James Francis Gill, a Texas-born architectural designer who would go on to count Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Indiana and Andy Warhol amongst his peers. Following a long list of celebrity collectors and an international breakthrough at the Sao Paulo 9 Biennale (1967), James went into self-imposed exile in 1972 to develop his artistic expression away from the constraints of the material world. Since his rediscovery in 1997, Gill’s work has been exhibited in more than 100 museums and galleries worldwide, but this will be his first visit to the UK since 1965. This is a tour not to be missed!
