Eduardo Paolozzi: General Dynamic F.U.N.

Saturday 11 January – Sunday 30 March 2025 | Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum

Pop art pioneer, Eduardo Paolozzi (1924–2005), created General Dynamic F.U.N, a series of fifty screenprints and photolithographs, between 1965 and 1970.

Paolozzi’s canny alchemy is vividly apparent in General Dynamic F.U.N. Idols and household names of consumer advertising, high fashion and Hollywood appear in these kaleidoscopic images.

Born in Scotland, Paolozzi was a compulsive collector and a jumbler of icons. A self-described ‘wizard in Toytown’, he transformed the mundane, the derelict, and the mass-produced into images that zap with electric eclecticism and impress with their graphic complexity.

Free to visit. Plan your visit to Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum.

Access to the Art Gallery and Museum - lift unavailable

The Art Gallery and Museum is getting even better! Work is taking place from 2024 to 2027 to improve visitor facilities, introduce new displays and create brand-new galleries for the permanent collection.

Please note that as of Wednesday 8 January 2025 the lift will be unavailable while upgrade work is carried out. The lift will be unavailable until March 2025.

During this period, access to the ground and first floors will be by stairs only.

We apologise that these improvements will temporarily limit access for some visitors and aim to complete the development as quickly as possible.

Please get in touch with the team if you have any questions before your visit or if we can help you with access by carrying buggies or walking aids:
