Summary

BUNK! is a series of prints and collages, by the late artist Sir Eduardo Pao-lozzi, which are made mainly from magazines given to the artist by American ex-servicemen. They show Paolozzi's fascination with popular culture and technology, as well as with the glitz of American consumerism.

Julie Milne, curator of the Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle, said: "Paolozzi first used these images from magazines in 1952 and at the time, they were seen as revolutionary. His prints and collages are now regarded as one of the earliest examples of British pop art".
