#ANDY WARHOL MUSEUM ART FREE#

This led him to attend free art classes at what is now the Carnegie Museum of Art. Becoming somewhat of an outcast due to his isolation, Warhol spent hours learning to draw, listening to the radio, and collecting photos of celebrities. It was in this same home that Andy Warhol would be bedridden for many months as a young child after being diagnosed with Sydenham's chorea, or colloquially Saint Vitus Dance, where limbs become uncontrollably unwieldy. At the age of 6, he moved to a house in the Oakland neighborhood where his oldest brother Paul taught him to develop photos from his first Brownie camera in the fruit cellar. Parental discretion is advised as parts of this exhibition contain adult themes.Andy Warhol (originally Warhola) was born on August 6th, 1928 in Pittsburgh.

In keeping with the Aspen Art Museum’s artist-centered approach, the AAM invited artist Monica Majoli to re-conceptualize the staging of the exhibition, as envisioned by previous iterations. Lesser-known bodies of work are combined with iconic Warhol pieces to add new readings and appreciation to an artist of incomparable importance. AAM presents both sides to expand our understanding of Warhol through archival materials from his lived experience, source material, and installations that return us to the foundation of the canonical works on display. The Aspen Art Museum presentation is structured to examine the artist’s life parallel to his work. Originating at Tate Modern, London, the exhibition has traveled to the Museum Ludwig, Cologne, and Art Gallery of Toronto. This more intimate portrayal of the artist examines the spectral persona Warhol created to transcend the personal, to engage the self as a cultural myth, mirror, and decoder. Andy Warhol: Lifetimes casts a queer lens over the artist, positioning him as an outsider and disruptor who remade America’s image to resonate within a queer sensibility. This museum-wide survey exhibition focuses on the biographical underpinnings of Warhol’s practice and specifically expands on the less exposed aspects of his work and persona. Steeped in the vernacular of celebrity, propelled by aspirational consumerism, image-driven, and bound together by new forms of media: Warhol tapped into the crux of American culture. Remarkably, Warhol continues to inform our contemporary moment through his prescient, uncanny grasp of the drama and consequences of capitalism on the American psyche.

Everyone has their own Andy Warhol –an elusive figure, the artist is virtually synonymous with American popular culture of the late 20th century.
