I
managed to make it over to The Whitney to check out the Warhol show before it
closes this week.
As one
of the reviews I read mentioned it seemed to have been designed with selfies in
mind.
For
instance this room, which was wall-to-wall cows.
They
borrowed my favorite work from The Met.
But
there were still a few pieces I hadn't caught in person before.
I was
most taken with this simple drawing as I marvel at the ability to capture an
image so easily.
It was
a multi-media exhibit including sculptures too, but also his films and videos.
There
were several school groups visiting while I was there.
And as
I looked at them I remembered myself trashing Warhol's Campbell Soup Can at the
Guggenheim in the 60's when I was in the single digits.
What
can I say? Except that I have come
around since then. I found the show quite inspirational.
Cheers!
