"Andy Warhol: Social Observer"
2000-11-18 until 2001-02-19
Corcoran Gallery of Art
Washington, DC,
USA
The exhibition, Andy Warhol: Social Observer, now on view at
the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, will travel to the Corcoran Gallery of
Art this November. A groundbreaking exhibition that explores the depth and
variety of Warhol's observations of American society, Social Observer features
more than 86 paintings, prints, photographs and one film. Also on view are
rarely exhibited archival materials from The Andy Warhol Museum.
This exhibition examines the subjects and themes that preoccupied Warhol
throughout his career, from as early as the 1940s to the time of his death in
1987. An artist famous for promoting himself as apathetic, vacuous, and
superficial, Warhol was in fact a passionate observer with opinions, affiliations,
sympathies, and a strong sense of politics. Andy Warhol: Social Observer is
the first exhibition to fully explore this aspect of Warhol's work and offers a
deeper understanding of his place in the history of 20th-century American art.
Andy Warhol: Social Observer includes selections from his series devoted to
Electric Chairs, Car Crashes, Most Wanted Men, and Race Riots. One of
Warhol's Time Capsules is also on view, providing a glimpse into a rarely
examined aspect of his infatuation with popular culture.
