A friend recommended kids tours in
Staatsgalerie, Stuttgart's big art gallery.
We went there on Mother's Day this year. There was a pop art exhibition called
"Op+Pop"which
I wanted to see anyway. Our tour guide, a young woman, did a wonderful
job: She explained screenprint (Siebdruck) with some items she brought She did it in such a simple way that I finally got it too! :-) She showed us a
picture of New York where the artist used more than 200 different
printings until he was finished! See this picture called "D-train" of
Richard Estes here and learn more:
Stuttgarter Zeitung
Pop art started in the 1960s. Famous artists are Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns.
What
I didn't know at all, there was a close connection to Stuttgart area
and the pop art artists: They had their pictures printed for example at
the printing plant
Domberger in Filderstadt.
I have to say that I learned more at this childrens tour than I recall of some adults tours!
Afterwards children were invited to be creative in the atelier.
