The Glucksman Gallery is currently hosting an exhibition of the legendary and influential pop-artist Andy Warhole. The Eternal Now - Warhol and the Factory ’63 – ’68 exhibition gives audiences an opportunity to evaluate first hand the work of one of the most renowned and complex artists of our time. The exhibition brings from the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh to Ireland some of the most important work emerging from the studio during that time including film, painting, photography, sculpture, music and books.
In 1964 Warhol moved into what became known as the Silver Factory and until 1968 this space provided a physical and conceptual framework for a broad range of activity that pushed the boundaries of what art production can be and helped define our contemporary ideas of the role of the artist.
The exhibition, which runs until June 8, 2008 , will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with essays by Jan Winkelmann and Francis McKee. The Eternal Now - Warhol and the Factory ’63 – ’68 is curated by Sarah Glennie and organised by the Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh in collaboration with the Model Arts and Niland Gallery, Sligo, the Lewis Glucksman Gallery, and the Ikon Gallery, Birmingham.
