Who said art is only for the 1%?

Somewhere around the fall of 1967, a couple of new-minted PhDs, feeding six kids on an income of something like $9,000, set out to decorate their modest house. They brought home a wall-filling banner by pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, which had a dotty seascape cut into its cloth. And a tabletop set of “soft” drums made of canvas by his colleague-in-pop Claes Oldenburg. Also, a colourful set of abstractions: squares within squares by Josef Albers of the Bauhaus.
