\"\"<\/a>If ever you haven’t visited yet this truly amazing exhibition at the Tate Modern, you only have\u00a0one day left to do so\u00a0or you’ll regret it forever! Pop Life, Art in a Material World<\/strong> concept rests upon Andy Warhol’s notorious provocation “Good business is the best art” and reconsiders the legacy of Pop Art through its major protagonists and\u00a0its influence on the following generation of artists\u00a0who used of the mass media to create their own ‘signature’\u00a0brands.<\/p>\n

Starting with Andy Warhol’s late work, notably some works from\u00a0the initially controversial\u00a0series Retrospectives<\/em>, the exhibition features artists such as Jeff Koons, Keith Haring, Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst, Richard Prince and Takashi Murakami.<\/p>\n

One of the highlights in my humble\u00a0opinion was\u00a0the reconstruction of\u00a0Keith Haring’s\u00a0Pop Shop (opened in 1986 on New York’s Lafayette Street). I could have stayed there all day – and night – long. Imagine a room all covered, from floor to ceiling with black and white Haring’s graffiti art, great loud music from the eighties, bright colours and funny\u00a0items to buy\u00a0everywhere… I was in heaven.<\/p>\n

Speaking of heaven, although in quite a different style, the exhibition also\u00a0reconstructed Jeff Koon’s seldom reunited Made in Heaven,<\/em> featuring the artist himself and\u00a0immortalizing his union with former\u00a0Italian porn star \u00a0and politician La Cicciolina through a series of photographs, paintings\u00a0and sculptures.<\/p>\n

Other highlights include the gallery dedicated to the Young British Artists, named\u00a0after the shows staged at the Saatchi gallery from 1992 onwards and who dominated British art in the nineties. The gallery presents the early works of Tracey Emin and Gavin Turk, as well as Damien Hirst’s Identical Twins performance, originally shown at Cologne ‘Unfair’ art fair in 1992 and featuring identical twins sitting beneath two identical spots of painting.<\/p>\n

In short, tomorrow 17th January is the last day. Don’t miss the boat!<\/p>\n
