Over 24 newly remastered works on view include rare Screen Tests, the iconic film Empire (1964), infrequently screened 16 mm works, and television productions from the 1980s. Typically shown in isolated theater settings, the works on film in this section are liberated here to be viewed in an open pavilion area in the exhibition hall. Warhol’s experimental films from the 1960s, after his Pop career took off, are presented in “Cinema as Object,” rooted in his Silver Factory studio that gave rise to the Superstars who starred in his films. Juxtaposed with his silkscreen paintings such as Flowers (1964) and a series of portraits, also on view are rarely exhibited equipment used by Warhol, such as Polaroid Big Shot cameras, an overhead projector used for hand painted Pop canvases, a 16 mm film camera, acetate studies, and original source material. “Warhol the Photographer” surveys the breadth of Warhol’s photographic practice throughout his career, both in subject matters and the variety of formats he experimented with, including portraits of his contemporaries and collaborators that served as source materials for his contemporaries and collaborators that served as source materials for his silkscreen portraiture, stitched photography, photobooth photographs, Polaroids, and more traditional black-and-white prints of nature, nightlife, and events Warhol occasioned-Warhol as an artist-photographer and as a documentarian of the world around him.

This exhibition includes photographs and reconstructions of Warhol’s New York City department storefronts from the same period that were never before shown. Through early drawings and historical photographs, “Origins” introduces the artist and his immigrant, Byzantine Catholic beginnings in working-class Pittsburgh, his close relationship and creative collaboration with his mother Julia Warhola, and Warhol’s successful foray into commercial art upon his move to New York City, where he created some of his first Pop paintings. Structured in five sections, the exhibition crafts a non-linear exploration of the artist’s life and career through paintings, photographs, objects, and films, as well as archival items from his youth and images of Warhol as documented by contemporaries such as Stephen Shore and David McCabe. The exhibition is designed by Xiaoxi Chen. “Becoming Andy Warhol” is produced in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Museum and curated by José Carlos Diaz, Chief Curator, and Patrick Moore, Director. It includes both representative and lesser-known works from various phases and aspects of his career, asserting Warhol’s anticipation of hybridity and repetition as primary influences in contemporary visual culture. The exhibition reconsiders Warhol’s innovative and versatile artistic legacy and is informed by recent scholarship that candidly examines his life and prolific output with a more holistic understanding. This exhibition brings nearly 400 works selected exclusively from the collection of The Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh), including works that are displayed for the first time outside of The Warhol, with new attention paid to Warhol as a photographer and filmmaker.
