THE PRINTS OF ANDY WARHOL
Feb 14, 2009 - May 31, 2009
Perhaps the best-known leader of the Pop art movement, artist and filmmaker Andy Warhol created iconic portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Kennedy, and Elizabeth Taylor. Drawing from a background in commercial art, he shocked the 1960s art world by elevating the mundane—comics, advertisements, and kitchen staples such as Campbell’s tomato soup—to the sublime. Fame was his elixir of choice. He originated the phrase “15 minutes of fame,” and, in his relentless pursuit of celebrity, Warhol wound up becoming famous in his own right. This exhibition, culled from the extensive collection of the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, provides an overview of the artist’s career through more than sixty lithographs and screen prints dating from the 1960s through the 1980s.
