MK Gallery - Andy Warhol: Portrait of America

Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was an American Pop artist who reimagined what art could be at a time of great social, political and technological change. This survey of works from across his career includes early drawings, painted screenprints and photographic series featuring Warhol’s collaborations with artists, friends, filmmakers and celebrities. Images of Marilyn Monroe, Liz Taylor, and Warhol himself, feature alongside icons of American consumerism, as well as symbols of the artist’s fascination with mortality: guns, skulls and war.


Andy Warhol: Portrait of America includes: rarely seen early drawings and illustrations from the 1950s; paintings from the 1980s, including the Ads and Illustrations series, never exhibited in his lifetime; and lesser-known ‘stitched photographs,’ which were, the focus of the last exhibition before his death.
