While in NYC…
I was surprised that while in the Empire State Building I didn’t see any mention of Warhol’s 8 hour film, Empire. Grant it, I was walking past the historical information pretty fast, but still. Nothing in the gift shop either.
At least while in New York City I did see his 1987 self portrait on a store front window.

Warhol on the Mall
2We just got back from the Warhol: Headlines exhibition in Washington DC. It was a nice treat being able to see pieces from all through Andy’s lifespan. From his early works of newspaper headlines to photo booth film strips to large silkscreens to actual film screenings! I’ve been beating myself up pretty bad. I went to the National Gallery excited and left sad… I missed the screenings of Afternoon, Space, Soap Opera, among a few others. But most importantly I missed seeing Lupe (starring the self destructive beauty, Edie Sedgwick)! I’ve been dying to see that film since I became an obsessed fan. It was even screened twice!
If anyone is in or near the DC area, December 31st the National Gallery of Art (where the exhibition will be until January 2) will be screening The Velvet Underground & Nico. Don’t miss out like I did! Hopefully there will be other opportunities soon.
PS - The gift shop has amazing Warhol goodies! I’m going back tomorrow with some extra cash in my pocket.
