Forbes India got a behind-the-scenes look at the new pop art exhibit at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, which brings together some of the world's most important artists through the themes of fame, love and power
The Art House at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) looks strikingly different from when it hosted its last exhibit, the Instagram-friendly ‘RUN AS SLOW AS YOU CAN’ by TOILETPAPER magazine. The bold red walls have given way to a stark white palette, punctuated by the riot of colours that comes through the artworks they house, showcasing the versatility of the space.
‘POP: FAME, LOVE AND POWER’, the new show, aims to take audiences on a historical journey through the golden years of the Pop Art movement, featuring seminal American Pop Art pieces from the 1950s onwards. The first exhibit of its kind in India, and perhaps the largest collection of American Pop Art to be showcased in South-east Asia, the show has been curated by Lawrence Van Hagen, a 30-year-old London-based art advisor and curator, who the Gentleman’s Journal called ‘The gallerist of the moment’.
