-	The exhibition "'''New Painting of Common Objects'''" at the [[Norton Simon Museum|Pasadena Art Museum]] in [[1962]] was the first museum survey of [[United States|American]] [[pop art]]. The eight artists included were: [[Roy Lichtenstein]], [[Jim Dine]], [[Andy Warhol]], [[Phillip Hefferton]], [[Robert Dowd]], [[Edward Ruscha]], [[Joe Goode]] and [[Wayne Thiebaud]]. It was curated by [[Walter Hopps]], who had given Andy Warhol his first solo show at the [[Ferus Gallery]] in [[Los Angeles]] the previous year. The show helped the pop art movement gain critical acceptance, preceding the [[Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum|Guggenheim Museum]]'s 1963 pop art exhibition "[[Six Painters and the Object]]", curated by [[Lawrence Alloway]].	+

Lichtenstein, Hefferton and Dowd had previously worked in the [[Abstract Expressionist]] style. Dine had been associated with [[Happenings]] in New York. Warhol had been a successful commercial artist. The youngest members of the group, old highschool friends Ruscha (24) and Goode (25), had recently left art school and were supporting themselves with graphic design work and odd jobs.	+
