Who was Andy Warhol?

Andy Warhol, an iconic figure of the twentieth century, revolutionized the art scene with his innovative approaches to image making. His exploration of multiple mediums such as silk-screened canvases, prints, photography, film, and more challenged traditional boundaries between fine art and popular culture. 

A wide range of Warhol’s artwork will be on display for visitors to the show, including the well-known Campbell’s Soup Cans, Flowers, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy, and Chairman Mao.

In addition, the exhibition explores how Warhol thought about identity and death via electric chairs, skulls, self-portraits, and experimental movies like Empire, Sleep, Kiss, and Outer and Inner Space. The immersive Silver Clouds sculpture adds another dimension to the viewer’s experience.

One fascinating feature of the show is a section devoted to examining the partnerships between Andy Warhol, Francis Bacon, and well-known American photographer and artist Peter Beard.. This unique perspective sheds light on the intertwined legacies of these titans of the twentieth century.
