Andy Warhol Art Exhibition
Only a handful of 20th-century artists — Pablo Picasso is an obvious one — have managed to change the direction of art and the way in which art is viewed, as Andy Warhol has done. Even fewer have had such impact on both the art world and the general public as Warhol. Perhaps the main reason for his enormous recognition and popularity was in his ability to create a bridge between cultures . . . in allowing the fine art world to converge with that of popular culture. He became the ambassador, the spokesperson — the icon, in fact — for popular art culture. Mr Pop Art himself. Australia’s first major Andy Warhol retrospective will open at the Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, on December 8, bringing together more than 300 works of the one of the most influential of artists.
