Larry Rivers es considerado por muchos el padre del movimiento Pop Art. En la obra de Rivers de 1980, "Beyond Camel", vemos un paquete de cigarrillos Camel ligeramente desenfocado, un elemento de la cultura de consumo del que Rivers se ha apropiado para crear una crítica a la mercantilización y la cultura de consumo. Rivers seguramente conocía la obra de Stuart Davis y su cuadro de 1921, "Lucky Strike", que representa un paquete de cigarrillos aplastado. Rivers interpreta su tema con una perspectiva de arte pop; sin embargo, las imágenes son casi más grandes que la vida, y la imagen de la marca se presenta como un tema en sí mismo.

En 2002 se celebró una retrospectiva de la obra de Rivers en la Corcoran Gallery of Art de Washington, D.C.
