Andy Warhol remains one of the world’s most famous and recognisable artists as a key figure within the pop culture movement that emerged in the 1960s - a period of significant change and transformation. The radical movement, driven by a pioneering generation of creatives, echoes the movement of change that is driving a blueprint for a new Saudi Arabia. The exhibition will feature Warhol’s paintings and prints of Hollywood stars, sporting legends and musicians - including Elizabeth Taylor, Muhammad Ali and Dolly Parton among others - alongside filmed portraits described as “screen tests” of 60s counter-culture icons. The installation will also include Andy Warhol designed wallpaper and Warhol’s ground-breaking work, Silver Clouds. The artworks will be accompanied by rarely seen archival photographs including Hollywood publicity photos and Polaroid portraits made in his studio and later utilised as source material for his paintings and prints. |
