Andy Warhol
Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek
Early Drawings. An exceptional collection of fine drawings showing what an outstanding draughtsman Warhol was. Many of the drawings are of a sketch-like character with subjects which the artist, with his acute eye, selected and traced from newspapers and magazines and transformed with his simple line into images.
It is extremely rare for the discovery of an art treasure to point to new directions in an artist’s oeuvre, but that is exactly what has happened – as something of a sensation – with the unusual unearthing of more than 250 drawings from one of the most important artists of the twentieth century – Andy Warhol.
The drawings constitute an exceptional collection of fine drawings showing what an outstanding draughtsman Warhol was. Many of the drawings are of a sketch-like character with subjects which the artist, with his acute eye, selected and traced from newspapers and magazines and transformed with his simple line into images. A pictorial universe that was even then unmistakably Warholean and a foretaste of the Pop Art that was to come in the next decade.
A selection of about 200 of the drawings can be experienced for the first time at a museum.
