A remarkable and exhaustive study examining the intertwined histories of pop music and the visual arts, and exploring the exhilarating exchange between art schools and the pop stars that they nurtured (or, occasionally, expelled)
How Art Made Pop encompasses the worldwide history of art school rock, and brings the story up to date by surveying recent trends and the practices contemporary of artist-musicians

The individuals that populate How Art Made Pop may still have
become successful musicians if they hadn't studied art, but the
kind of musicians that they became, and the kind of music that
they became interested in that was predominantly informed and
modified by art school attendance. Where once these musicians
would have considered themselves entertainers, they now became
artists. And hence what they practiced - i.e. popular music -
became an art form, not least because they said it was.
