Arkansas Arts Center’s "Pop! Out of the Vault" exhibit centers on Warhol’s Little Red Book

“POP! Out of the Vault,” featuring more than 50 works from the Arkansas Arts Center Foundation Collection by pop art creators including Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg and Mel Ramos, will be on display Tuesday-July 7 at the Arts Center in MacArthur Park, East Ninth and Commerce streets, Little Rock.

The centerpiece of the exhibit is Warhol’s 1975 Little Red Book #9, a book of Polaroid photos that the Arts Center received in 2013 as a gift from the Warhol Foundation.
