“When I got fascinated by Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Oldenburg, Rosenquist, the word ‘Pop Art,’ the definition of it, did not exist. It was just isolated artists.” —Leo Castelli
After Larry Gagosian, we now go back to his mentor Leo Castelli, and Castelli’s first business partner, fellow legend Ileana Sonnabend. In this 1991 clip from Paul Tschinkel’s ART/new york (no. 35), after a visit to the exhibition A View From the Sixties at Guild Hall in East Hampton, we hear from Castelli and Sonnabend on their view of the launch of the pop art movement.
