On February 27, Eric Firestone Gallery Exhibition & Event Space debuts its premiere photography exhibition, “Andy Warhol: From Dylan to Duchamp,” in its new downtown loft in Tucson's Historic Warehouse Arts District.
What better setting for the largest group show on the Pop Daddy of Pop Art than a 9,000 square-foot, industrial space nostalgic of Warhol’s infamous art studio, The Factory?
With renowned TASCHEN photo book editor Eric Kroll as guest curator, this stellar exhibition features rare, behind-the-scenes images of the iconic life of Andy Warhol from the
Velvet Underground Sixties to his final collaboration with Jean Michel Basquiat in the Eighties. Warhol’s art turned fame into currency – Marilyn, Jackie, Blondie, Liz, Elvis.
His “in” crowd became superstars – Edie Sedgwick, Ultraviolet, Viva, Joe Dallesandro, Holly Woodlawn.
Culled from the archives of photographers who entered Warhol’s world and the pages of Interview magazine –
Helmut Newton, Cecil Beaton, Peter Beard, Robert Mapplethorpe, Annie Leibovitz, Dennis Hopper, Nat Finkelstein, Bob Adelman, Patrick McMullan, Chris Stein,
Santi Visalli et al – this inside look into the wondrous Age of Warhol showcases a vast assemblage of color, and black-and-white original prints, including a remarkable body of work on loan from the Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection.
Kroll: “Like any important phenomena, it is the documentation that colors the subject, that defines the artist, and the time. Andy was a major cultural force. He lived in the limelight. He loved to be in front, as well as behind, the camera. ”
