Works by celebrated pop artists such as Andy Warhol, Ed Ruscha and Kara Walker explore the past 60 years of US history. Pop art exploded onto the art scene during this period as artists responded to events such as the assassination of John F Kennedy, the Apollo 11 moon landing and the Vietnam War, as well as the Aids crisis, racism and gender politics.
