KOIN reports Andy Warhol: Prints from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation will be the "most comprehensive display of the Pop Art master's prints ever mounted." The exhibition will be on view at the Portland Art Museum from October 8, 2016 - January 1, 2016.
Over 250 Warhol prints will be shown, drawn from the collection of Portland art collector and philanthropist Jordan Schnitzer.
Exhibition curator Sara Krajewski said, "Andy Warhol harnessed the allure of media images of celebrity, consumer goods, sex, death, and disaster to create his iconic pop art. This retrospective provides an in-depth look at how the artist manipulated the seductive power of the photographic and the televisual in his printmaking. Thirty-five years of prints offer a compelling view of Warhol’s critical use of new imaging formats and technologies, from newsprint distribution to instant cameras, television and video. Our survey of Warhol’s vast print production demonstrates Warhol’s impact on the evolution of contemporary visual culture."
