This survey of works from across his career includes early drawings, painted screenprints and photographic series featuring Warhol’s collaborations with artists, friends, filmmakers and celebrities. Images of Marilyn Monroe, Liz Taylor, and Warhol himself feature alongside icons of American consumerism, as well as symbols of the artist’s fascination with mortality.
The exhibition includes rarely seen early drawings and illustrations from the 1950s; paintings from the 1980s never exhibited in his lifetime; and lesser-known ‘stitched photographs’ which were the focus of his last exhibition before his death.
Lakeside Arts, the University of Nottingham’s public arts centre, brings together galleries, performance spaces and a museum in Highfields Park.
