Ludwig Goes Pop - Softcover

Ludwig Goes Pop tells the story of Peter and Irene Ludwig's legendary Pop art collection and its rapid evolution during the art-market upheavals of the late 1960s. The design of the book references the spectacular catalogue created by artist Wolf Vostell for Art of the Sixties, the first exhibition of the collection in Cologne in 1968. Artists of the Pop era, such as Jim Dine, James Rosenquist, Jasper Johns and David Hockney, recount their experiences with the Ludwigs and celebrate their extraordinary passion for collecting. Photographs and documents supplement the selection of major Pop works.
