 BBC - Radio 3 - Richard Hamilton Interview
If Richard Hamilton were American, he'd be far more famous than he is. Anybody who can be credited with founding both pop art in the 1950s and conceptual art in the 1980s deserves more than a footnote in the art history books.
Hamilton has not been illustrating the book, you understand, rather he's been discovering the images which lie concealed by writing, that gives clues to likeness, but no clear description.
It's not what one understands by the artist who followed that kind of idea of using a ready-made, but I think that it is the key and also, everyone of those ready-mades is another explanation of those possibilities.

 Richard Hamilton - Solo Exhibition - Arts - British Council   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In collaboration with Ikon Gallery, the British Council presents a seminal exhibition by Richard Hamilton, a major exponent of Pop art and one of the world’s most influential contemporary artists.
Hamilton has long been interested in the relationships and distinctions between fine art, product design and popular culture, and the exhibition coincides with the 10th International Shanghai Biennale which with its theme of “Hyper Design”, focuses on the relationship between art, utility and design.
Central to the exhibition is a large scale recreation of a badge Hamilton purchased on his first visit to America in 1963 inscribed with the words "Slip it to me."  Entitled Epiphany (1964), it is a giant orange and blue disc, an ecstatic acceptance of the modern world.

 E-Flux : Richard Hamilton at Museum Ludwig - (2003-07-07)
Richard Hamilton, certainly England’s most significant living artist, can be considered the founding father of Pop Art (without becoming a “Pop” artist himself).
Hamilton’s works go way beyond “Pop Art”, they are paintings of and about our society, how we see our world, and because he still maintains an on-going dialogue with the present, his art has remained vital and relevant to today’s younger generation of artists.
The exhibition highlights the development of Hamilton‘s work from the forties up to the present, uniting his most celebrated paintings from all over the world for the first time since his retrospective in London ten years ago.

 The Dubs - Music Downloads - Online
Bio: The Dubs had a long career, from the late '50s through the '80s, but are best remembered for their enduring Top 40 doo wop classic "Could This Be Magic," one of the more memorable songs of 1957.
This lineup featured Richard Blandon (lead), Billy Carlisle (second tenor), Cleveland Still (first tenor), Jake Miller (baritone), and Thomas Gardner (bass).
All total, the Dubs (at least the groups featuring lead vocalist Richard Blandon) recorded for ten record labels, from the '50s through the mid-'70s, but never enjoyed much in the way of success or made any headway outside doo wop circles.

 Art in Review; Richard Hamilton - New York Times
The British artist Richard Hamilton, born in 1922, is famous for having coined the name Pop Art and for pioneering the aesthetic it defined.
Hamilton, anyway, and there would be others, notably the collages called ''Fashion-plates,'' which combined the fragmentary features of photographed models with passages of paint mixed with cosmetics.
Hamilton retained a taste for expressive brushwork, as seen in ''Soft Blue Landscape'' (1976-80), a pipe-dreamy Arcadian scene, at once romantic and cheesy, that would fit into any survey of painting by young artists today.

 Hamilton, Richard - Old Master Artist
Hamilton, Richard (1922-), British painter, born in London, who in the 1950s pioneered the development in Britain of pop art, a movement that found its subject matter in popular culture and representational, commercial images.
Hamilton was one of the founding members, along with British sculptor Eduardo Paolozzi and English art critic Lawrence Alloway, of a group who called themselves the Independent Group.
Like pop artists in the United States, the British Independent Group was interested in mass-produced artifacts of urban culture such as movies, science fiction, billboards, and machines, and rejected the distinction between fine art and popular culture.

Richard Hamilton, one of Britain’s most innovative and original artists who first came to international attention as the founding father of British Pop Art in the late 1950s, has been preoccupied for more than fifty years with James Joyce’s modernist epic Ulysses.
First published in 1922, the year of Hamilton’s birth, Joyce’s revolutionary novel provoked a storm of controversy upon its publication in Paris and was banned in the English-speaking world until 1933 on account of its sexual frankness, scatological obsession and vulgar language.
For The British Museum venue, the 109 works produced by Richard Hamilton for the project will be supplemented by additional loans from the artist and a special display of first edition Joyce books and related ephemera from a private collection.

Typically for Cranston's practice, which persistently redefines the creative function of the curator as well as curatorial strategies among artists, her staging of the ICA show is hard to classify as an occurrence.
But it also brilliantly messed with authorship, and pointed to a disregarded history of artists working as curators, or, if you will, of curators as something other than selectors occasionally permitting artists to futz around with the rules of the game in creative little ways.
As Cranston has pointed out, these are three practitioners who have frequently used other artists' and designers' work in their projects.
