Twisted Pair: Marcel Duchamp and Andy Warhol
May 23 – September 12, 2010

This exhibition presents the ground-breaking work of two masters of 20th-century art. Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) and Andy Warhol (1928-1987) are among the most important and influential artists of the 20th century, and they continue to inspire and influence contemporary artists today. Notorious early in their careers and iconoclastic in their eras, both artists are now important touchstones of modern art history. While many have written about their artistic kinship, this exhibition — which pairs dozens of their works and takes advantage of Warhol’s personal papers — is the first to thoroughly explore Warhol’s great interest in and indebtedness to Duchamp. This exhibition is curated by Matt Wrbican, Archivist, The Andy Warhol Museum.

Curated By Matt Wrbican

I Just Want to Watch: Warhol's Film, Video and Television
March 28, 2010 – March 26, 2017

The Warhol celebrates Andy Warhol’s work in film and video with the inauguration of a long-term exhibition showcasing the largest installation of his media works. Warhol’s most important films, including The Chelsea Girls (1966) and Screen Tests (1964-66), will be continuously projected on more than 20 large screens. Two newly restored films, Face (1965) with Edie Sedgwick and The Velvet Underground in Boston (1967) unseen since the 1960s, will be premiered as part of the installation. In addition, all of the episodes of Warhol’s three television series, Fashion (1979-80), Andy Warhol’s T.V. (1980-83), and Andy Warhol’s Fifteen Minutes (1985-87), will be simultaneously shown in the galleries contextualized with other little known work including numerous informal Factory Diaries; Warhol’s soap opera-like experimental dramas, Vivian’s Girls (1973), Phoney (1973), and Fight (1975); the artist’s only intentionally-produced piece of “video art,” Water, commissioned by Yoko Ono for an exhibition in 1971; and three short comedy pieces broadcast on Saturday Night Live in 1981. Made possible by a generous gift of equipment from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc., this new installation will allow viewers to experience a comprehensive range of Warhol’s influential media work surrounded by his archives, paintings, drawing, photographs, and other art.

Jose Rufino: Blots and Figments   
April 24 - July 18, 2010

The son of activists arrested by Brazil’s military dictatorship in the 1960s, Brazilian artist Jose Rufino explores concepts of personal and collective memory and related socio-political and institutional contexts in his artwork. His work often combines found furniture with original documents that have a special significance in Brazilian history, on which he paints ink blots, recalling the psychoanalytic inkblots test developed by Hermann Rorschach in the 1920s. In Blots and Figments, Rufino will draw on Andy Warhol’s Rorschach series and will collaborate with researchers, staff, patients, and caregivers affiliated with the University of Pittsburgh to create the work featured in the exhibition.
