Nevada Museum of Art - Andy Warhol’s Dream America: January 20, 2007 - May 27, 2007
Andy Warhol, one of the most influential and provocative artists of the twentieth century, looked to images of American popular culture, fame, stardom and glamour to create some of the most iconic and defining artwork of our time. Andy Warhol’s Dream America offers a comprehensive look at this legendary Pop artist’s printmaking career. The exhibition also provides a unique opportunity to view a large selection of complete portfolios featuring some of Warhol’s most recognizable prints — including images of Marilyn Monroe, Jacquelyn Kennedy, Mick Jagger, and the Campbell’s Soup cans. Additionally, the exhibition examines the complex relationship between Pop art and more traditional forms of artistic expression, and places special emphasis on how Warhol blurred the boundary between high and low art.
Andy Warhol’s Dream America: Screenprints from the Collection of the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation. Support for the exhibition and related educational and outreach programs has been made possible by a grant from the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation. This exhibition is organized by the Yellowstone Art Museum, Billings, Montana, and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, University of Oregon, Eugene.
