A retrospective of Warhol's work on display in San Francisco captures the artist's ability to use paintings, drawings, photographs and other mediums to create buzz-worthy personas the way people do now using social media.
Before Instagram and Facebook, before selfies and filters that perfect selfies, there was Andy Warhol, using his art to imbue friends, family, celebrities — even himself — with a certain mystique.
"Andy Warhol — From A to B and Back Again" opened this week at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and runs through Sept. 2. It includes more than 300 works spanning Warhol's 40-year career. The show's title comes from Warhol's 1975 memoir in which he touches on key themes from his work, such as celebrity, money and love. The artist died in 1987 at age 58.
"That idea of marketing and all the things we take for granted was just something Warhol was immersed in," De Salvo said."And he was just such a sponge in his capacity to absorb things."The artist took Scull to a photo booth in New York, gave her a stack of coins and said,"Pose," Garrels said. She took 300 pictures, looking playful, pensive and everything in between.
