Andy Do You Believe the Public Has Insulted Your Art

"Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes." Andy Warhol

I hope this post doesn't get me infamous for 15 minutes, especially since I flouted the no photo rule (I did not use flash!), and sneakily took a couple of photos of the exhibits (like 2?), just to get this written for my web log.

I have always been quite rebellious as a child, and so 'no photos' rule, and being told off past a nosy woman with her remark, "Yous are non suppose to take photos," (like who is she, my parent?), plain did non terminate me. So simply permit'south keep this between us ok ;)?

I find it puzzling though; Why no photographs? This can exist easily prevented by the "no flash/ no tripod policy," or maybe it is a question of the loans on display. The museum is able to prove the exhibits to the public but not have the public photographed them. Maybe they are afraid that the photo reproductions will be duplicated to wall-sized and framed so sold?

But looking at the photo angles that I have taken of the exhibits, I doubt anyone would fifty-fifty consider buying them from me.

Enough said, at present'due south here a quick run through of Andy Warhol's 15 minutes Eternal exhibition:

"An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have." – Andy Warhol

Right earlier the we viewed the exhibits, we watched a snippet of an interview with Andy Warhol, which went similar this:

"Interviewer: "Andy do you experience that the public has insulted your art?"
Andy Warhol: "Uh no."
I: "Why not?"
AW: "Uh well I hadn't idea most it."
I: "It doesn't bother you at all then?"
AW: "Uh no."
I: "Well do yous think that they have shown a lack of appreciation for what popular fine art means?"
AW: "Uh no."
I: "Andy exercise yous think that pop art has sort of reached the point where information technology's becoming repetitious at present?"
AW: "Uh yes."
I: "Do y'all remember it should break away from being popular fine art?"
AW: "Uh no."
I: "Are you just going to carry on?"
AW: "Uh yes." ― Andy Warhol

A visit to an Andy Warhol exhibition volition not exist complete without a photograph of the famous Campbell Soup series. These were Warhol's pop paintings created in the 60s that caused a sensation in the fine art world at that time.

"I like irksome things," – Andy Warhol

"I've decided something: Commercial things really do stink. As soon equally it becomes commercial for a mass market it really stinks." – Andy Warhol

Warhol'due south Moo-cow Wallpaper 1966, flanking the Heinz boxes.

The Moo-cow wallpaper was Andy Warhol'south initial formal effort for making wallpaper part of his creative territory. His seemingly mundane work isn't meaningless, as the Cow Wallpaper was meant to be more of a comic statement of parisian wallpaper fine art at that point, rather than a mechanical repetition.

Warhol's first exhibition of sculptures held in 1964, included hundreds of replicas of large supermarket boxes, including Heinz Boxes.

The exhibition likewise featured Warhol'due south piece of work from the 70s, which consisted of commissions for painted portraits from wealthy socialites, musicians and film stars, as well equally diverse paintings and photos from the 80s.

Nosotros ended off the exhibition with a easily-on 'art' activity provided by the Fine art Science Museum.

It wasn't quite Warhol's style of art, but we appreciated the petty activity nonetheless for One thousand which kept him busy for a while.

"Art is what you can get away with." – Andy Warhol

The action was made a piddling more than fascinating when K gave the museum assistants his completed creation. They popped it in the toaster for less than a minute and the 'plastic-like piece' where K drew on shrank into 1/half-dozen of its size.

Nosotros then donned the signature silver colored wig and blackness rimmed spectacles and gave our best interpretation of Andy Warhol.

In the spirit of Warhol's pop fine art manner. I attempted my photoshop version of a pop fine art portrait of the little guy. If you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, cheque out this tutorial. Really, information technology is not equally hard as it looks.
