The "Warhol Out West" exhibit is fascinating. If you buy a ticket ($16) for the 2 o'clock time slot, a docent will accompany your group as you view the gallery. Our docent was an art major in college tour and she did a great job filling in the background of Warhol's life.
The exhibit has 60 pieces of art, including the celebrated Campbell's tomato soup cans, a series of neon-edged screen prints portraying images of "The West", an interactive exhibit of silver Mylar pillows filled with helium and a series of casual portraits taken of celebrities (Sylvester Stalone, Liza Minnelli, Mick Jagger, Grace Jones) with a Polaroid camera. My mind was racing.
You can see 4 examples of the art on display here.
Do you remember when I saw the limited edition Campbell's soup cans at Target? It was a special collection of 3 label styles designed to salute the 50th Anniversary of Andy Warhol's tomato soup can. I happened to still have this photo on my phone and when my group was viewing and discussing the Campbell's soup can series, I was able to show them this picture and tell them about the 50th Anniversary. No one had seen this display so it was fun to be able to share it.
