Tate gallery chose the Romanian artist Cornel Brudaşcu to be one of the few artists on The World Goes Pop exhibition list. The artist is originally from Salaj and is the only Romanian artists at this exhibition which celebrates the 1960's and 1970's art.
The World Goes Pop suggests a new perspective of the 1960-1970's art, highlighting the fact that Pop Art was not just a western culture of consumerism but an artistic language which today is very relevant. For this exhibition 6 paintings were chosen, 2 of them belonging in the Art Museum from Cluj-Napoca permanent exhibition. The paintings that were chosen are “The Guitarist”, “Youth on the Building Yard“, “Composition“, “Group Portrait” (see below) and “Portrait“, all of them painted in the '70's.
The curator for this exhibition was Jessica Morgan, who is one of the most influential curators in the world. She came to Cluj-Napoca to search about the Pop Art influences in Romania. She discovered Cornel Brudaşcu and she was fascinated by his work. One of his paintings, titled “Group Portrait ” was on display at Gwangju Biennale in South Korea.The same painting can be found now at Tate Gallery where the artist received a special place in the exhibition.
The World Goes Pop includes a selection of 160 works created between 1960 and 1970 by artists from Latin America, Asia, Europe and Middle East, many of them unknown to the British public, artists who were important figures of the art of period, in their home countries
