J+G Design Visits Andy Warhol at Hirschl & Adler

  • Posted on November 5, 2014

It is so interesting to get a glimpse into the budding stage of an artist’s career, especially one as iconic as Andy Warhol. Early works from 1952-62, have been handpicked from private collections for a very special exhibit at Hirschl & Adler. If you look closely, you can catch the beginnings of some of Warhol’s most famous themes – like the Butterfly, Dollar Bill and Dance Steps. Unlike the sterile nature of his later silk screens, these pieces attest to Warhol’s artistic talent. Through his use of graphite, ink, dye, gouache and collage, the viewer is able to see his artful hand in the work – and also his mother’s! We learned that many times his mother did the pretty cursive writing on his illustrations – who knew?

The show runs until December 6th and it is well worth the visit. For more information visit Hirschl & Adler.
