One of the most influential and important artists of the late twentieth century and the figurehead of Pop art, Andy Warhol created some of the most recognisable images of modern culture.
Exclusive to Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art, Australia's first major Andy Warhol retrospective brings together more than 300 works spanning all aspects of his practice from the 1950s onwards — paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, photographs, films, videos and installations.
The exhibition marks 20 years since the artist’s death in 1987, and includes his important Death in America works; iconic images of Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Onassis, Mao Zedong and Elvis Presley; and his Campbell’s Soup Cans.
The Gallery’s Children’s Art Centre will present The Silver Factory: Andy Warhol for Kids, which will include a display of rarely seen works for children by Warhol, as well as a number of interactive activities.
In 2008 the Gallery will be open late every Friday until 9.30pm for the Andy Warhol Up Late program, including live music, '15 minutes of fame' talks and tours, films and refreshments.
The Australian Cinémathèque and the Gallery of Modern Art will present a major program of Warhol films from the Museum of Modern Art, New York, as well as other film programs.
