Catalogue Note
‘A hallmark of Pop art is taking a ubiquitous but overlooked totem of capitalist enterprise and reinventing it. Andy Warhol had the Campbell’s Soup Can. Claes Oldenburg had the Lipstick Tube. Nate Lowman has his: the smiley face" (Jacob Bernstein, ‘Why isn’t this man smiling?’, The New York Times, 26 December 2012, online).
