Andy Warhol Exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art - Brisbane
The Andy Warhol Exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art is exclusive to Brisbane. It’s Australia’s first major Andy Warhol retrospective and brings together over 300 works, spanning all areas of his practice from the 1950s until his death in 1987.
Works include paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, films, videos and installations. One of the most influential and important artists of the late twentieth century and the figurehead of Pop art, Warhol’s works include some of the most recognisable images of recent decades. In addition to his important ‘death in America’ works, there are iconic images of Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Onassis, Mao Zedong and Elvis Presley plus his Campbell’s soup cans. The exhibition presents Warhol’s films, his early commercial work, interview magazine, and late paintings and experiments with abstraction. The exhibition also investigates how Warhol represented himself through his art practice, including self-portrait paintings, time capsules, drawings, photographs, films and videos.
