According to Warhol, he got the idea for the cows Volgens Warhol zelf kwam het idee van from the art dealer Ivan Karp. ‘[H]e said, ‘Why de koe van de kunsthandelaar Ivan Karp: don’t you paint some cows, they’re so wonderfully ‘Waarom schilder je niet eens wat koeien?

Na zijn eerste verrassing shocked. But after a moment he exploded with: riep hij uit: ‘Ze zijn gewoon super-pastoraal! En ‘They’re super-pastoral! They’re ridiculous! They’re ze zijn komisch en ridicuul.

  • Room 10 Consuming Pop
    Room 10 Consuming Pop 101 The relationship between art and consumer society is a thread that runs throughout pop art, and this final room deals directly with the lure and act of consumption. The risk that art itself might become a consumable product is mooted in some works here, but others proclaim the power of art to subvert and oppose the operations of global capitalism. Thomas Bayrle’s The Laughing Cow wallpaper makes the cheese company icon omnipresent and inescapable, while Boris Bućan’s series of brand logos transformed into ‘art’ reflect Yugoslavia’s transition to consumerist culture. Advertising always shows consumption as pleasurable. Many works here expose the coercion that backs it up, from the bars on the screen in Sanja Iveković’s video Sweet Violence , to the aggressively proffered American products in Keiichi Tanaami’s Commercial War animation. 102 Wall labels Clockwise from right of wall text Thomas Bayrle 1937 Born and works Germany The Laughing Cow (Blue) Wallpaper La Vache qui rit (blau) Tapete 1967/2015 Wallpaper, silkscreen on paper Courtesy the artist, Air de Paris and Groupe Bel, Paris X50880 32 103 Komar and Melamid Vitaly Komar 1943 Alexander Melamid 1945 Born Russia (former USSR), work USA Post Art No 1 (Warhol) Post Art No 2 (Lichtenstein) Post Art No 3 (Indiana) 1973 Oil paint on canvas Russian artists Komar and Melamid reappropriated canonical American works, copying them from reproductions in Lucy Lippard’s seminal book Pop Art (1966).

SUNY Press. Tr. Alejo De la Rosa Andy hizo que nada pasara. -Fran Lee Woods, de la película Superstar: The life and times of Andy Warhol No hay qué decir sobre Warhol, y Warhol justamente ha dicho esto. -Jean Braudillard, The Perfect Crime ¿Acaso la obra de arte tiene autonomía alguna? ¿No es más bien el caso que cada gesto artístico dirigido a ser autónomo del bien social más bien ha despertado los más grandes proyectos de recuperación, alimentados por la ansiedad de que el verdadero problema es lo opuesto, el buscar cómo el arte puede hablar de forma ética? Aquí existe una imperativa muy clara, que funciona de forma doble al parecer, al conceder y al mismo tiempo protestar la autonomía de la obra de arte. El concepto de autonomía surge a la par de la entrada en boga de las teorías estéticas, a comienzos del siglo XVIII –de forma que los teóricos pueden, en la práctica, combinar ambos términos, de forma que “estética” significa la autonomía de la obra de arte-. El arte, para la sensibilidad disociada de la modernidad (ahora posmodernidad), va por su propio rumbo; aunque desearíamos que no, ¡si tan sólo pudiéramos mostrar el bien del arte, que hay un terreno ético dentro del cual se puede rehabilitar este arte errante! El problema de seguro sólo continuará siendo reciclado, sin solución, así como ha sido reciclado en la edad moderna, y el arte pop es solamente uno de los movimientos artísticos del siglo XX que se resiste a ser asimilado por la ética.

We have made the pairing of The Owl and The Pussycat in honor of Edward Lear’s poem and with the thought that it is just the kind of association Warhol would have made. In 1978 Martha Graham created a dance entitled The Owl and the Pussycat using the words from Lear’s famous poem. Rudolph Nureyev danced and Liza Minnelli was the narrator. The Owl and the Pussycat played at Covent Garden and in New York City. ( Diaries, p. 229-230) Andy was present at the Covent Garden opening on July 23, 1979. ( Diaries, p. 230) Both The Owl and The Pussycat share the same white background as well as interesting shadows in the photographs. Not exactly dancing “by the light of the moon,” as Lear wrote, but use your imagination! The Warhol Photographs The Pussycat Undated 5” x 7” black and white print In 1976, Andy Warhol did an acrylic and silkscreen ink on canvas portrait of a cat.

  • Commercial Art (1949–61) Fine Art (1962–67)
    Andrew Warhola (August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987), known as Andy Warhol, was an American painter, printmaker, and filmmaker who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became famous worldwide for his work as a painter, avant-garde filmmaker, record producer, author, and member of highly diverse social circles that included bohemian street people, distinguished intellectuals, Hollywood celebrities and wealthy patrons. Warhol has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions, books, and feature and documentary films. He coined the widely used expression "15 minutes of fame." In his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, The Andy Warhol Museum exists in memory of his life and artwork. The highest price ever paid for a Warhol painting is $100 million for a 1963 canvas titled Eight Elvises. The private transaction was reported in a 2009 article in The Economist, which described Warhol as the "bellwether of the art market." $100 million is a benchmark price that only Jackson Pollock, Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Pierre-August Renoir, Gustav Klimt and Willem de Kooning have achieved.[1] Commercial art (1949–61) Warhol showed early artistic talent and studied commercial art at the School of Fine Arts at Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (now Carnegie Mellon University).[10] In 1949, he moved to New York City and began a career in magazine illustration and advertising. During the 1950s, he gained fame for his whimsical ink drawings of shoe advertisements. These were done in a loose, blotted-ink style, and figured in some of his earliest showings at the Bodley Gallery in New York.
