About the Artist
The Richard Hamilton Estate preserves and promotes the groundbreaking work of Richard Hamilton (1922–2011), widely considered a founding father of Pop Art in Britain. Hamilton's highly intellectual and conceptually rigorous practice profoundly influenced 20th-century art through his meticulous collages, paintings, and prints that critically examined consumer culture, mass media, and technology. His iconic works, like "Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing?", fused high and low culture, challenging traditional artistic hierarchies. Hamilton’s legacy lies in his keen analytical eye, his pioneering use of appropriation, and his ability to hold a mirror to the complexities of modern life, consistently questioning the nature of images and representation.
