Roman exhibit revels in Pop Art craze

ROME, Nov. 10 (UPI) --

A new exhibit on display at Rome's Scuderie del Quirinale represents a major collection of nearly 100 Pop Art works from around the globe.

Curator Walter Guadagnini said the site's newest exhibition encapsulates the artistic trend that exploded in the 1950s and still continues to intrigue art lovers worldwide, the Italian news agency ANSA reported Friday.

"Even today, Pop Art attracts the public -- the most successful exhibitions are consistently those dedicated to the movement or to one of its artists, and record-setting sales at auctions are always related to the protagonists of Pop Art or their precursors," Guadagnini said.

Guadagnini also took time to dismiss ongoing accusations against Pop Art.

"There are people who accused Pop Art of selling its soul to the devil, making art compete with fashion, advertising and so called commercial art," he said. "It's more correct to say Pop Art assimilated these elements and placed them in its own historical context."

ANSA said the exhibit will be in Rome until Jan. 27.
