Warhol in Motion
by Kari WethingtonAndy’s back!
Eight years after presenting Andy Warhol’s provocative black-and-white 1960s silent films for the first time in a gallery setting (Andy Warhol: Screen Tests), New York’s
Museum of Modern Art revisits the pop master’s cinematic oeuvre with Andy Warhol: Motion Pictures. Evolving from the MoMA’s 2003 original film exhibit featuring a loop of 28 screen tests on eight monitors, the show has been traveling to museums in
South America,
Russia and
Europe (Sao Paulo,
Moscow,
Prague and Berlin) before returning to
New York. In its new incarnation, Motion Pictures features 17 screen tests and four films, including an excerpt from Warhol’s
Sleep, a full version of
Eat and a screening of
Kiss in a special 50-seat theater. Through March 21,
