Highly influential in both the British and American art scenes of the 1960s he was not only central to the development of Pop Art, of which he was a pioneer, but also instrumental in pushing abstract painting in a new direction. This exhibition brings together nine of his early paintings from the formative period of 1959 until 1963.
