neo-pop
Updated Warhol aesthetics
Neo-pop is an art movement emerging in the 1980s that revives and reinterprets pop art's engagement with consumer culture, mass media, and celebrity.
Like its predecessor, neo-pop uses bold colors and commercial imagery, but often with more irony or critique of commodification.
Artists like Jeff Koons and Takashi Murakami are associated with the style: The gallery featured neo-pop sculptures of cartoon characters.
