Andy Warhol Three Times Out is running until 28 January, 2024, and will feature more than 250 works including the iconic Campbell's Soup Cans and Marilyn Monroe.
Showcasing the artist’s extraordinary range of artworks produced over four decades, the exhibition has been five years in the making and includes works on loan from museums and private collections in the US, Canada, Europe and the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. The exhibition is curated by Barbara Dawson, Director of Hugh Lane Gallery and Michael Dempsey, Head of Exhibitions, and it is the most exciting show in Ireland’s arts calendar this year.
Andy Warhol is one of the most important and recognisable artists of the twentieth century. He devised new ways of image making, experimenting with multiple images silkscreened on canvas, printing, photography, film, publishing, advertising, performance, video and television. Combining these mediums, Warhol challenged conventional canons in art, dismissing traditional distinctions between fine art and popular culture.
A broad range of Warhol’s work has been selected for the exhibition in Dublin including the iconic Campbell's Soup Cans, Flowers, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy and Chairman Mao. The exhibition also presents Warhol’s observations on identity and mortality in his multiple self-portraits, skulls, electric chairs and avant garde films Empire, Sleep, Kiss and Outer and Inner Space. In addition, visitors to the exhibition will experience Warhol's immersive Silver Clouds sculpture.
