Drawn from the rich collections of the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, "Andy Warhol: Fame and Misfortune" looks at Warhol’s lifelong obsession with both fame and disaster. The more than 150 works included in this broad survey juxtapose icons of popular culture, legendary entertainers, art world luminaries, and world leaders, with images of suicides, automobile accidents, skulls, and an electric chair.
This exhibition—exclusive to the McNay—will only be seen in San Antonio, and is accompanied by an 80-page catalogue which includes reproductions of all paintings and sculpture in the exhibition plus a small sampling of key Warhol drawings, prints, and photographs, as well as source photographs for iconic early works and portraits of the artist.
