Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

One of the largest exhibitions of British Pop Art opens to the public at Christie’s Mayfair today.

When Britain Went Pop! explores the early years of the British Pop Art movement, with works from Peter Blake, David Hockney, Allen Jones, Patrick Caulfield and Richard Hamilton.

Curated in collaboration with the artists and their families, the exhibition shows how British Pop Art blurred the lines between popular culture and fine art.

Many of the works have not been exhibited publicly since the 1960s.

When Britain Went Pop! British Pop Art: The Early Years; Christie’s Mayfair, 103 New Bond Street; 9 October – 24 November; admission free
