Video: Andy Warhol – The Last Decade @ the Milwaukee Art Museum.

Posted by sleepboy, October 12, 2009

The Milwaukee Art Museum is currently showing “Warholâ€™s Last Decade”, an appropriately named exhibition showcasing Andy Warhol’s later work. Known as the most experimental and risky work of his career, he introduced abstraction into his work with series such as “Oxidation Paintings, Shadows, Yarn, Rorschachs, Camouflage; produced his signature â€œfright wigâ€ self-portraits; and revealed his Catholicism in Black and White Ads and the ambitious series based on Leonardo da Vinciâ€™s The Last Supper.” During this late period, Warhol was influenced greatly by his collaboration with […]
