This exhibition consists of 8 sections. We will introduce these exhibition sections in 4 part-series. This first in the series is about the exhibition sections 1 & 2 as an introduction. The exhibition opens with photos and self-portraits spanning Warhol's life.
Section 1:
Portrait of Andy Warhol: Who Is Warhol?
The many facets of Warhol can be observed through a wide variety of photos and portraits that remain from his boyhood as a weakly and shy child through the period of his commercial design activities and the various stages of his success as an artist until his death in 1987. The exhibition opens with photos and self-portraits spanning Warhol's life.
Section 2:
The 1950s: Success as a Commercial Designer
After completing his university studies in 1949, Warhol left his native Pittsburgh for New York and began a career in advertising. He became an instant success as a designer with his shoe advertisement drawings and illustrations in fashion magazines such as Vogue and Glamour. His early 'blotted line' technique enabled him to create transfer drawings and multiple repetitions, prefiguring the silkscreen printing methods of his later work.
