Group Exhibition: POP MODELS, Museum More, NL

22.06.25 - 28.09.25

Advertisements, comic strips, bold colours – and women: these are defining elements of Pop Art in the 1960s and early 1970s. The role of women in Pop Art was twofold, perhaps even ambiguous. They embodied a stereotypical, desirable ideal, while also emerging as symbols of liberation. Women were at once supermodels and role models. In POP MODELS, Museum MORE becomes the first museum to put women in Pop Art at centre stage. As both muses and makers.

The exhibition focuses on Europe, where the movement was often more outspoken and socially engaged than its American counterpart. This major exhibition at MORE presents an extensive selection of paintings, collages and objects by well-known artists such as Niki de Saint Phalle, Yves Klein and Richard Hamilton, alongside exciting discoveries like Ketty La Rocca and Jana Želibská.

Also featured is Ferdi’s striking work Mother’s Invention (1968), from the collection of Museum Het Valkhof, Nijmegen.
