ANDY WARHOL EXHIBITS a glittering alternative

Exhibition artist, installation artist, or closeted curator after all? mumok dedicates two simultaneous exhibitions to the phenomenon that is Andy Warhol (b. August 6, 1928 in Pittsburgh, PA; d. February 22, 1987 in New York City). Instead of presenting long-known classics, mumok will focus on rarely shown works and look behind the facade of the famous Pop Art icon to rediscover Warhol’s capabilities as an innovative curator and exhibition artist.

ANDY WARHOL EXHIBITS a glittering alternative and the homage to Warhol’s groundbreaking project RAID THE ICEBOX 1 with Andy Warhol constitute the very first exemplary overview of the polymath artist’s exhibition practices without letting his early and late works fall by the wayside. This cross section opens new perspectives on the myriad media Warhol used and shows that his modes of presentation should be understood as an essential part of his oeuvre.
