Rob W 0 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I was reading that the Tate Modern is running a major retrospective on Richard Hamilton this year Always amazes me that a man who kicked off Pop Art and spent the critical years of his life in Newcastle 1952- 1966 and yet I doubt 1 in 100,000 knows about him or his local connection "One of the most influential British artists of the 20th century" and yet no coverage, no PR, nuffin'.... v strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
