Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back again

Ingrid Bergman: With Hat, 1983. Collection of The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh" "This exhibition has been organized by The Andy Warhol Museum, one of the four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh."

"Ingrid Bergman.With Hat. 1983"

Örnsköldsviks Museum & Konsthall will proudly launch on July 7, 2010, The Prints of Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again from the Warhol Museum, one of the four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh. The exhibition features 62 works on paper, from iconic prints of celebrities -Chairman Mao, Marilyn Monroe and Liz Taylor-and other insights into the artist's transformations from commercial illustrator to Pop artist. 

Andy Warhol (1928-1987) is arguably the most famous American artist of the twentieth century and his work reflects on the artificial aspects of popular culture, in particular society`s preoccupation with celebrity and consumerism.

The Prints of Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again also presents many well known images such as soup cans, dollar bills and celebrity portraits in printed forms.  Mechanically Andy Warhol reproduced prints using the commercial printing process of photographic silkscreen printing to reproduce images he appropriated from popular culture which proved to be an ideal medium to portray Pop art's preoccupation with images from mass media.

The exhibition will continue until September 25, 2010.
Welcome to an exciting exhibition at Örnsköldsviks Museum & Konsthall
