Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco – de Young
Warhol Live
Now – May 17
Over the course of his meteoric career, Andy Warhol used the medium of music to transform himself from fan, to record album designer, to producer, to celebrity night-clubber, to rock star. This exhibition brings together a wide variety of works depicting Warhol’s work with music royalty, including Elvis Presley, the Velvet Underground, Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones, and Michael Jackson. Major Warhol silkscreen paintings, album covers, illustrations, and photographs inspired by music and the performing arts, along with films and sound recordings, provide a visual and aural score to Warhol’s extraordinary work and life.
