From the Director

Spring is here…or is it summer?

We are happy about our lovely weather – and even more so in announcing our spring Sound Series, featuring Kimya Dawson, Bear in Heaven, The Psychedelic Furs, Sharon Van Etten, Oberhofer, and Damien Jurardo.  We’re thrilled to be hosting some of the music world’s biggest names at The Warhol.

Please join us in welcoming our new addition at the Museum – the Milton Fine Curator of Art, Nicholas Chambers. Chambers has worked on a diverse range of exhibitions and hails from Australia. He begins his work at The Warhol in late April.

In a bit of a spring cleaning effort, our exhibitions staff has done a bit of rearranging in our permanent collection galleries in recent weeks.  Visitors can now view several of Warhol’s collaborations with Jean-Michel Basquiat and Francesco Clemente in our 2^nd Floor galleries.  Also on view are three of Warhol’s Renaissance paintings.  The Last Supper has returned to its home on view on the 4^th Floor as well.  Guests now have a glimpse into the process behind some of Warhol’s more famous work in our new ‘process gallery’ on the 5^th floor. Featured are Warhol’s original silkscreens, paintbrushes, and other tools augmented by a multimedia installation explaining his unique art-creating processes.

Our special exhibitions, Warhol and Cars: American Icons and About Face are not to be missed and are on view until May 13^th.  Our next set of exhibitions, Factory Direct: Pittsburgh and Donald Moffett: The Extravagant Vein will open in late June. Factory Direct features the work of 14 contemporary artists working closely with the management teams and factory workers within host factories to plan and execute a new work of art based on the factory’s history, technologies, materials, and/or processes.  The exhibition will take place at the Guardian Self-Storage Building in the Strip – so keep your eyes and ears open for more details soon!

We hope to see you soon at The Warhol!
