Liquitex on Bristol board (brown, dark brown mesh, rose-brown lace, and straps) Signed on the back in a plexiglass box. Tiny Dropped Bra by Tom Wesselmann is a 1984 painted cut-out executed in Liquitex on Bristol board, reflecting the artist’s innovative expansion of Pop Art into sculptural form. Depicting an intimate garment at near life-size, Wesselmann transforms an everyday object into a bold, autonomous composition through simplified contours, layered shapes, and flat areas of color. The brown cups, delicate pink lace, and looping straps retain the sensuality associated with his celebrated Bedroom and Great American Nude series, while the object’s isolation removes it from narrative context and elevates it to an iconic image. By combining painting with cut-out construction, Wesselmann blurs the boundary between two- and three-dimensional art. Signed on the reverse and presented in a Plexiglas box, the work exemplifies his playful yet sophisticated exploration of desire, design, and contemporary visual culture.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
