George Washington Museum & Textile Museum Lecture On Change & Tradition In Soviet Central Asia April 28 LONDON On April 18, Halcyon Gallery will present its very first exhibition devoted entirely to the works of Andy Warhol. With more than 100 pieces on display, including graphics, portfolios and original works on paper and canvas, Warhol Icons will be an exploration of the Pop Art icon s artistic ingenuity and importance. There will be a private view on Wednesday, April 20, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, and the show stays up until May 15. The exhibition spans Warhol s career from his early illustrative works of the 1950s through Pop Art s 1960s heyday until his untimely death in 1987, addressing the artist s exploration of every facet of modern life, from consumerism and commissions to Communist politics. Among portraits of iconic figures and celebrity friends such as screen siren Ingrid Bergman and champion heavyweight boxer Muhammad Ali, the exhibition includes an original self-portrait Self Portrait in Fright Wig, a striking collage work on paper that celebrates the artist s enduring legacy and mastery of his brand. Displayed according to Warhol s original 1962 brief as to simulate cans stacked along supermarket shelves, the instantly recognizable packaging present in the Campbell s Soup I portfolio exemplifies Warhol s fascination with commercial culture, the mainstream and mass production. In the same room, an original Campbell s Soup Box: Chicken Soup is an interesting development commissioned following the success of the former portfolio, the soup boxes further demonstrate a revolutionary period in art and culture where the status of everyday consumer items was elevated. Along with Campbell s Soup I, the exhibition features five of Warhol s most celebrated portfolios of ten, including Cowboys and Indians and Endangered Species the former deriving from the treasure trove of archival photographs, postcards and images of Native American artifacts that the artist collected throughout his life, while the latter is a nod to Warhol s ongoing interest in conservation and the environment. WASHINGTON, D.C. A lecture, Change and Tradition in Soviet Central Asia, on Thursday, April 28, at 6 pm, is at the George Washington University Museum (GW) and Textile Museum. Andrew Hale, collector and curator will discuss the influence of revolutionary Russia on Central Asia s textile and other traditions. Textiles have been part of Central Asian identity for hundreds of years, peaking in the Nineteenth Century with the production of ikats that featured bold, original designs and vibrant colors. In the Twentieth Century, the Soviet Union came to power, bringing economic change and modernization to the region. Hale is an internationally recognized expert in the nomadic textiles and silk weaving traditions of Central Asia, as well as the author of numerous articles and books on Central Asian art. During his talk, he will pull from his personal archive of more than 2,000 photographs documenting this region in the Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries. The cost is free for museum members and current GW students, faculty and staff, and $10 for the public. Advance registration is required. Register online at www.museum.gwu.edu or call 202-994-7394.
