Andy Warhol Personalities
|
|
Andy Warhol Personalities features Polaroid photographs in the Permanent Collection taken by Warhol during the 1980's of socialites, celebrities, and patrons, including Carolina Herrera, Pia Miller, and Ric Ocasek. For Warhol, the photos served as a kind of "sketchbook", a quick way to record source material for future use. One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, Andy Warhol (1928-1987) figured prominently in the Pop Art movement of the 1960's, which saw a shift away from traditional distinctions between fine art and popular culture. His renown as a painter, printmaker, and filmmaker, however, was overshadowed by his "celebrity lifestyle." The Polariods on view document his diverse social circle as well as his creative process.

Michael Phillips and the Infernal Method of William Blake
|
| One of the world's most foremost authorities on the poet and engraver William Blake (1757-1827), Michael Phillips has reproduced exactly Blake's unique technique of printing on copper plates, down to the types of dyes and paper used. This exhibition offers a rare glimpse into Blake's engraving process, which he termed "the Infernal Method," featuring Phillip's exquisite facsimiles of Blake's beautifully illustrated "Songs of Innocence" and "Songs of Experience." |
