Warhol Live, a comprehensive exhibition that examines Warhol’s work through the lens of music and the performing arts, will be on view at The Warhol from June 14 to September 13, 2009, and features over 640 works and objects including paintings, silkscreens, photographs, works on paper, illustrations, films, videos, album covers, and ephemera from Warhol’s personal archives.
Organized by The Warhol in partnership with the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the exhibition seeks to interpret the role music played in Andy Warhol’s life, as well as the influence that Warhol had on the music scene. Through an extensive period-by-period examination of Warhol’s life and work, Warhol Live offers viewers a glimpse into Warhol as producer, filmmaker, interviewer, publicist, glam rocker, and celebrity night-clubber. After traveling to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the de Young Museum in San Francisco, Warhol Live finishes its national tour in Pittsburgh.
