If you are not yet a Currier member, this is your chance to get a preview of the Andy Warhol: Pop Politics blockbuster exhibition – before the doors open to the public.
Andy Warhol: Pop Politics assembles together for the first-time more than sixty of Warhol's paintings, prints, drawings, and photographs of international and U.S. political figures ranging from Mao Zedong and Queen Elizabeth II to commissioned portraits of Edward Kennedy and a "Vote McGovern" poster featuring Richard Nixon. Warhol's images of presidents, queens, Communist dictators, and other political figures reveal intriguing insights into his obsession with fame and power. This exhibition offers a thought-provoking and entertaining look at the leaders who shaped the twentieth century and the important role image plays in the political process.
Andy Warhol: Pop Politics is organized by the Currier Museum of Art, Manchester, NH. The exhibition is sponsored in part by Public Service Company of New Hampshire, with additional support from the NBT Charitable Trust and the Badger Fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. Media sponsor is WZID, 95.7FM. For complete programming and exhibition information visit http://www.currier.org or call 603.669.6144 x108.
