Andy Warhol—From A to B and Back Again

Andy Warhol—From A to B and Back AgainIf you haven’t gotten a chance to see the Andy Warhol exhibit at the SF MOMA, there are only a few weeks remaining. It ends on September 2nd!

Exalted…Transcendent…Sublime…
—The New York Times

Few American artists are as ever-present and instantly recognizable as Andy Warhol. Through his carefully cultivated persona and willingness to experiment with non-traditional art-making techniques, Warhol understood the growing power of images in contemporary life and helped to expand the role of the artist in society. This exhibition—the first Warhol retrospective organized in the U.S. since 1989—reconsiders the work of one of the most inventive, influential, and important American artists. Beneath the glamour of Warhol’s wide-ranging creations is a deep engagement with the social issues of his time that continue to resonate today.

Stretching across three floors of SFMOMA, featuring a dozen works unique to this museum, and building on a wealth of new materials, research, and scholarship that has emerged since the artist’s untimely death in 1987, this exhibition reveals new complexities about the Warhol we think we know, and introduces a Warhol for the 21st century.
