Although the exhibition has been criticised for having contributed to the institutionalisation of Dada in the post-war period, it has also been credited with the opening up of new possibilities for German neo-avant-garde artists who were, at the time, becoming hidebound by the influence of American abstraction. The first manifestation of this opening up came with the founding of Fluxus in Wiesbaden, West Germany in 1962, quickly followed up by two exhibitions organised by Richter, Polke and others: Demonstrative Exhibition (1963), a German ‘Pop Art’ exhibition which allowed German artists to take up critical positions in relation to consumerism and American pop; and the above-mentioned exhibition, Living with Pop: Demonstration for Capitalist Realism.
