Found Objects presents over twenty works made in the 1960s by British and American artists who extended their aesthetic vision within the mediums of prints and multiples, to create some of the most influential works of the twentieth century.
Driven by experimentation and collaboration and an interest in consumer culture or modern design, found objects became a direct source of inspiration for many artists in the 60s. A postcard of London’s famous Piccadilly Circus given to Dieter Roth formed the basis for one of the artist’s best-known works, Six Piccadillies, 1969-70, consisting of six double sided prints of the famous landmark. A print of a toaster by Richard Hamilton made in 1967, one of the artist’s first works to combine different printing techniques, depicts a Braun home appliance with accompanying text adapted from Braun advertising brochures.
Featured artists include: Patrick Caulfield, Allan D’Arcangelo, Jim Dine, Richard Hamilton, Tess Jaray, Jasper Johns, Allen Jones, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Bridget Riley, Dieter Roth, George Segal, Joe Tilson, Andy Warhol, and Tom Wesselmann
