The fourteenth episode of “The Picture” podcast features a conversation recorded live at Acquavella Galleries in New York on the occasion of the new exhibition “Painted Pop.”

Focusing on Pop art and its adoption of the visual language of mass culture and consumerism, the exhibition features painted works by key figures of the American Pop movement, including Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, Ed Ruscha, Marjorie Strider, Wayne Thiebaud and Andy Warhol.

To celebrate the exhibition, gallery director Michael Findlay led a conversation with curator and historian Sarah Bancroft, who previously served as executive director of the James Rosenquist Foundation, and with writer and biographer Bob Colacello, author of “Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up,” his memoir of working closely with Warhol in the 1970s and early ’80s.
