Exhibitions, Spring 2011 Society Portraits
Curated by Matthew Affron, In 2009, the U.Va. Art Museum received a donation of some 150 photographs by Andy Warhol; these works suggest the broad range of Warhol's photography in the 1970s and 80s. Some are studio portraits of celebrities such as Margaret Hamilton, Truman Capote, and Sylvester Stallone. Others are informal snapshots of people, parties, places, and landscapes—entries in a vast photographic diary of the artist's life. At the time of the bequest, Warhol was already represented at UVaM by drawings, sculptures, and screenprints. Since photography is in many ways at the heart of both Warhol's working method and his sensibility, this new group of images constitutes an important addition to the Museum's Warhol holdings. The Museum received these works through a donation from the Andy Warhol Foundation's Photographic Legacy program which granted over 28,000 Warhol photographs to educational institutions across the country. The exhibition is made possible through the generous support of Arts$, The Hook, Albemarle Magazine, and Charlottesville Welcome Book, Ivy Publications LLC. Download exhibition labels copy (pdf) >
