This book was inspired by a lecture on the work of Gerhard Richter, in which the concept emerged of the 'first work' as the work in which the artist recognized himself for the first time. The curators found the idea of an artist looking at his or her method by way of the 'first work' intriguing, and wondered what other artists would choose as their number one. The submissions received for this book reveal the artists' ways of thinking from a new angle, and, together, form a remarkable document of the creative process.

From the late 1950s to the late 1960s the word Pop described art, film, photography and architectural design which engaged with the new realities of mass production and the mass media. Unlike books which present Pop art in isolation, this is a comprehensive survey of Pop in all of its forms across America, Britain and Europe

In addition to the key artworks by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Ed Ruscha, Richard Hamilton, Sigmar Polke, Martial Raysse and many others the book includes works of photography and avant-garde film, as well as what the critic Reyner Banham defined as Pop architecture, ranging from Alison and Peter Smithson's House of the Future to Archigram's Walking City and Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown's Learning from Las Vegas

Editor Mark Francis was former Founding Director of the Andy Warhol Museum and editor of 'Les Années Pop' (Centre Georges Pompidou, 2001). Survey author Hal Foster is Professor of Art at Princeton University, author of The Return of the Real and editor of the bestselling TheAnti-Aesthetic: Essays on Postmodern Culture and Recodings: Art, Spectacle, Cultural Politics
