There always seems to be an exhibit of Andy Wahol‘s iconic art somewhere around the globe at any given time. We wrote about the retrospective this summer at The Cleve Carney Museum of Art in Chicago, and now it’s Dublin, Ireland’s time. Just opened at the city’s Hugh Lane Gallery is Andy Warhol Three Times Out which is Ireland’s largest-ever ] exhibition of the queer artist. It features some 250 works borrowed from museums and private collections in the US, Canada, and Europe.
They include some of Warhol’s most well-known pieces Campbell’s Soup Cans, Flowers, Skulls and Electric Chairs. There are also several popular portraits on show, including of Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy, Chairman Mao and Warhol himself.
Plus there is also a section focusing on the collaborations of Warhol and Irish painter Francis Bacon with acclaimed US artist and photographer Peter Beard. According to curators, this is to provoke “new thinking on the status of these two titans of the 20th century”.
The Andy Warhol Three Times Out exhibition will be Dublin until January 28. For more information,
