The museum celebrates its 30th anniversary with a thoughtful exhibit to examine the dark themes present in the work of the late Andy Warhol and the enigmatic KAWS.
The Andy Warhol Museum is the largest museum in the United States dedicated to a single artist, Pittsburgh native and pop arts pioneer Andy Warhol (1928-1987). American artist and designer Brian “KAWS” Donnelly (born 1974) is known for the repeated use of a cast of figurative characters and motifs.
From skulls to car crashes, both artists deploy their signature bright colors and pop culture references while also presenting the lurid spectacle of death. The dark undercurrents in the work of KAWS and Warhol are magnified and brought into plain sight by presenting the two artists together for the first time.
KAWS also responds to Warhol’s embrace of commercialism by presenting a new series of paintings, sculptures and installations related to his recent commission with food manufactory General Mills which inserted his signature characters into the packaging for some of America’s most loved cereal boxes.
