Richard Hamilton, Tate Modern, February 13 – May 16
"People don't seem to understand that an artist is free to do whatever he wants, and I've always relished that possibility. I do whatever I feel like," said British pop art pioneer Richard Hamilton (1922-2011), whose closest friends included artists René Magritte, Marcel Duchamp and Peter Blake, as well as musicians Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger. The exhibition at Tate Modern is the largest retrospective on the artist to date and covers six decades of his work, which extended into such spheres as design, painting, photography and television, and included cooperative projects with other artists of his day.
