Pop, Panorama & a Summer Night to Remember 🌟ArtTalk Recap and next ArtTalk

Dear ArtTalkers,
What a night! 💥
Thank you to everyone who joined our Pop Art ArtTalk yesterday evening in Museum Ludwig.
From the cool of the museum to the warmth of your questions, conversation, and curiosity, the atmosphere was just perfect.
We wandered through the wild world of 1960s Pop—from James Rosenquist’s enormous, cinematic panorama “Star Thief” to Andy Warhol’s iconic (and surprisingly wooden) Brillo Boxes. You asked sharp questions about Tom Wesselmann’s luscious orange mounted collage and gasped at early work of the bold, Instagramable brilliance of Yayoi Kusama still creating waves at 95 years old! 🎉🎨
This was more than just an ArtTalk. It was a shared experience of color, culture, and community. And as 12 of us sat down afterwards for a cool drink, the conversations kept going, just the way I like it ✨
📅 Save the Date: September 4
We’ll be back in Museum Ludwig for our next ArtTalk:
*“The Universe of Form in Sculpture: From Picasso to Pop.”
And in case you’re wondering why Pop again? Don’t worry, I’ve saved several Pop sculptures just for this upcoming talk. Claes Oldenburgs crazy store items are too good not to explore together.
Thanks for being part of this creative journey. ArtTalks aren’t just about art, they’re about us.
Enjoy your summer!
Artfully yours,
Karla 🎨🧡
