Artists Rooms from the Anthony d’Offay donation to Tate & National Gallery Scotland
A guided tour of this exhibition with Curator Sam Lackey.
Andy Warhol shows the sharp critical opinions of an artist known to many primarily as art salesman, purveyor of product and celebrant of capitalism. Supported by Arts Council, Art Fund and Creative Scotland, the exhibition is drawn from ARTIST ROOMS, a collection of international modern and contemporary art owned by the National Galleries of Scotland and the Tate on behalf of the public. Focusing on themes of death, politics and identity, it presents audiences with Warhol’s reading of the American Dream at a time when the country will be under scrutiny just weeks after the 2016 US Presidential election.
The works on display are drawn from the extensive collection of 232 works by Andy Warhol, spanning the artist’s entire oeuvre, established through the generosity of Anthony d’Offay in 2008. The collection is shared with millions of visitors to museums and galleries around the UK through ARTIST ROOMS on TOUR.
