This spring exhibition presents, for the first time in public, an important private collection of works by Andy Warhol (19281987). Cultural icon, celebrity and provocateur, Warhol produced images which are instantly recognizable, but this exhibition, through the lens of a private collection, also reveals an unfamiliar side to the artist in his less well-known works. The exhibition features over a hundred works from the Hall Collection (USA), plus loans of artist films from the Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh. Curated by Sir Norman Rosenthal, the exhibition spans Warhols entire output from iconic pieces of the 1960s Pop pioneer to the experimental works of his last decade. Images: Andy Warhol, Self-Portrait, 1967; Andy Warhol, Twenty Fuchsia Maos, 1979; Andy Warhol, Joseph Beuys, 1981; Andy Warhol, Farah Ashraf Pahlavi (Princess of Iran), 1977; Andy Warhol, Untitled (Oxidation Painting), 1978; Andy Warhol Heaven and Hell are Just One Breath Away (positive), 198586.
