In conjunction with the exhibition “Adman: Warhol Before Pop”, Anthony E. Grudin — assistant professor of art history at The University of Vermont — reads from his 2017 publication Warhol’s Working Class: Pop Art and Egalitarianism, which explores Andy Warhol’s creative engagement with social class.
Pittsburgh native Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was a leading figure in the pop art movement of the 1950s and 1960s which found inspiration in mass culture. “Adman” provides surprising insights into the beginning of Andy Warhol’s career, from his award-winning work as a commercial illustrator through to his first, little-known gallery exhibitions of drawings and artist books.
Following the reading, Blake Gopnik, Warhol biographer and New York-based art critic, leads a Q&A focusing on the points of intersection between Grudin’s latest book, research and the themes of the exhibition “Adman: Warhol Before Pop”.
