Schellmann Art in Munich will open 'The Spirit of Pop Art' on 15 September 2026, presenting a group exhibition focused on Pop Art’s continuing visual and conceptual reach. The opening reception is scheduled for 6 to 9 pm at the gallery’s Ainmillerstr. 25 location in Munich. The announcement frames the exhibition as a cross-generational presentation, bringing together artists associated with the history of Pop Art and others working in its later reinterpretations.
According to the gallery’s announcement, 'The Spirit of Pop Art' will gather works by artists including Eduardo Paolozzi, Allen Jones, R. B. Kitaj, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Christo, Anselm Reyle and Sarah Morris. The exhibition is described as exploring how Pop Art’s visual language and ideas have remained active for contemporary artists, rather than being confined to a single historical moment. Schellmann Art presents the show as a group exhibition that connects foundational figures with more recent practices.
The project arrives with a straightforward curatorial premise: Pop Art as a language that has endured through reuse, expansion and reinterpretation. The gallery’s wording emphasizes both “iconic” and contemporary interpretations, suggesting that the exhibition will not present Pop Art only as a legacy style, but as an ongoing reference point for artists working in different periods. No further checklist of works or exhibition length was provided in the source material.
The artist list underscores that intention. Eduardo Paolozzi, Andy Warhol and Keith Haring are among the best-known names in the Pop Art and post-Pop canon, while Allen Jones, R. B. Kitaj and Christo broaden the historical frame. Anselm Reyle and Sarah Morris point to later generations of artists whose work can be read in relation to Pop Art’s graphic impact, serial imagery or engagement with mass visual culture, although the source does not specify which works by each artist will be included.
Schellmann Art’s notice does not identify the exhibition as a retrospective or thematic survey, but the language used places it squarely in the context of Pop Art’s longer afterlife. The gallery says the presentation will “span generations,” a phrase that points to a structured conversation between artists who helped shape the movement and those who continue to respond to it. That framing gives the show a comparative structure rather than a single-historical one.
The opening on 15 September 2026 is the only date given in the material. The event is listed under Schellmann Art in Munich, Germany, and the gallery’s email places the venue at Ainmillerstr. 25 / Rgb., 80801 Munich. Beyond the opening reception window of 6 to 9 pm, the source does not include closing information, viewing dates or additional programming.
