ANDY WARHOL PAINTS A PORTRAIT
FRIDAY · OCTOBER 22 · 6 PM / FREE
NEIL PRINTZ
Andy Warhol was fascinated by the beauty, power and mystery of the human face, which appears in his drawings of the 1950s, his Pop Art paintings and films of the 1960s, and in hundreds of commissioned portraits that he executed during the 1970s and 1980s. Neil Printz, Editor of the Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonne?, will present selections from Warhol’s 40-
year love-affair with the human face, focusing on the portraits of Birmingham’s Charles and Caroline Ireland, painted in 1979 when Warhol’s portrait practice was flourishing and he was at the height of his creative powers. Sponsored by the Collectors Circle for Contemporary Art. Free and open to the public. |
