The exhibition also includes examples of seldom seen later works by Robert Indiana, Alex Katz, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, Andy Warhol and Tom Wesselmann, providing a broad historical overview of Pop art as it has been practiced from the movement's origins to the present day.
The exhibition is complemented by the publication of "Pop Art: Contemporary Perspectives," the first in a new series of monographs that will offer in-depth explorations of the museum's rich collections.
"Over the last 30 years, the Princeton University Art Museum has steadily augmented, by gift and purchase, its collection of Pop material," said Susan Taylor, the museum's director.
"These generous promised gifts highlight the significance of Pop art and mark an important addition to the museum's collections in contemporart."
