Warhol Icons TWENTY6 Magazine

Andy Warhol was an enigma Known to many as the father of pop-art he has turned the art world on his head with his controversial career and fascination with celebrity culture and mass consumerism On an extended run until the 26th of June The Halcyon Gallery presents Warhol Icons its first exhibition featuring over one hundred pieces from Andy Warholrsquos extensive repertoire

Warhol Icons explores the legendary artistrsquos cultural significance beginning from his hand-drawn sketches in the late 1950s Our favourite is a playful collection of roughly drawn lithographs fondly entitled Love is a Pink Cake created with his lover Ralph Thomas Ward who accompanied the drawings with quirky poems celebrating their amorous relationship A rare glimpse into the psyche of pop-artrsquos most important figurehead

With a career beginning as a commercial illustrator Andy Warhol became obsessed with the relationship between creative expression celebrity culture and mainstream mass production His most well known commission Campbellrsquos Soup I reverberated during the late 50rsquos and early 60rsquos as a sign of the times Consumerism was on the rise the American Dream was on a paradigm shit and life revolved around the elevated status of everyday consumer items Here Campbellrsquos Soup I is displayed according to his 1962 brief sprawled across a red wall and behind a miniature supermarket trolley brimming with red soup cans The display is strikingly reminiscent of a supermarket shelf and is undeniably effective

The exhibition also features the entire range of Warholrsquos repertoire including lithographs drawings paintings prints photography and silk-screens Several portraits of his many celebrity friends are prominently displayed in the exhibition The series of three portraits of Ingrid Bergman is haunting painting three different sides of the legendary screen siren

On the mezzanine at the far side of the gallery is the Cowboyrsquos and Indianrsquos series Coined from memorabilia from his own personal collection the series of 10 prints was inspired by postcards key rings and archival photographs collected in his travels throughout the years The collection is a study on Native American iconography and the mythos of the classic Western a breathtaking social commentary on the polemic relationship of indigenous tribes and their conquerors Across the floor from Cowboys and Indians is The Myths Collection featuring some select images in dazzling diamond dust The Myths Collection explores some of the worldrsquos most recognisable characters Mickey Mouse was rendered in black diamond dust while the red and White motif of Santarsquos costume was almost unrecognisable and even unnerving in deep shades of crimson

In the heyday of Andy Warholrsquos career The Factory became a safe-haven for the creative subversives of his time It was an exclusive gathering place for artists intellectuals Hollywood celebrities and drag queens and became a place where creativity flourished and the lines between art celebrity and culture were all obscured Today Halcyon Gallery becomes this space Warhol Icons explores our ever growing fascination with pop-culture while providing insight into the mind of the man behind the enigma

Andy Warhol Brand-Warhol Celebrity Friends And Soup Cans At Halcyon Gallery

Halcyon Gallery is currently presenting its first exhibition devoted entirely to the works of Andy Warhol The show has over one hundred pieces on display including graphics portfolios and original works on paper and canvas The exhibition explores Warholrsquos works from the artists early illustrative works of the 1950s through to Warhols Pop Art heyday in the 1960s culminating with works from 1987 before the artists untimely death as ldquoBob Robertrdquo and a gallbladder operation that would prove fatal

The exhibition is presented in a way that Im sure the artist would have approved of highlighting Brand-Warhol in all of its glory Shining forth from amongst the many portraits of iconic figures is a later portrait of the artist - Self Portrait in Fright Wig a collage work on paper which exudes the very nature of the brand Similar in nature to the artists Self-portraits and Skulls - which always exudes that intentional impersonality - this is classic Warhol - as if the self-portrait is in fact a disguise Here you get surface Warhol not the more fragile and darker one from the artists final works

Although the use of the same image juxtaposed with skulls in the artists Self-Portraits and Skulls espouses the bright Pop colours to reveal an obsession with death that was personal with an eye that suggests Warhol himself and not the work of one of his factory cohorts The portrait on its own is a reminder of the darkness that lies just beneath that commercial disguised surface

Amongst the mastery of brand is the glowering ghost-like portraits of Joseph Beuys - haunting enigmatic and seemingly rather personal - the work feels like it has the personal touch of the artist rather than the work of that factory mass production - this is the catholic Pop Art masters true obsession with mortality floating to the surface as Beuys stares out of the work hollow and implacable

But we soon return to celebrity friends such as Ingrid Bergman and Muhammad Ali reminding the viewer of the artists fascination and obsession with fame and of Warholrsquos commissioned portraits spanning the 1970s right up to the year before his death - with the artists wish for his society portraits to all hang together in a huge display at New Yorkrsquos Museum of Modern Art Here we return to Warhols enduring aesthetic - the artists concerns with death are again suppressed by that of celebrity as we leave behind Warhols obsessive electric chairs or car crashes and swiftly return to the artists fascination with the mass production of the image repetition and commercial cultural value

The largest installational display in the gallery follows Warholrsquos original 1962 brief as to simulate cans stacked along supermarket shelves with the repetition of the instantly-recognisable packaging present in the Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio returning the viewer to the intentional lightness of being mass production and explorations of the commercial image as culturally iconic The installation complete with shopping trolley and red walls discards the white cube nature of the London gallery creating a contemporary response to the artist that reminds the viewer of Warhols enduring relevance in our all-consuming culture

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

wwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

Warhol Icons Press Por tfoliowwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

Warhol Icons TWENTY6 Magazine

Andy Warhol was an enigma Known to many as the father of pop-art he has turned the art world on his head with his controversial career and fascination with celebrity culture and mass consumerism On an extended run until the 26th of June The Halcyon Gallery presents Warhol Icons its first exhibition featuring over one hundred pieces from Andy Warholrsquos extensive repertoire

Warhol Icons explores the legendary artistrsquos cultural significance beginning from his hand-drawn sketches in the late 1950s Our favourite is a playful collection of roughly drawn lithographs fondly entitled Love is a Pink Cake created with his lover Ralph Thomas Ward who accompanied the drawings with quirky poems celebrating their amorous relationship A rare glimpse into the psyche of pop-artrsquos most important figurehead

With a career beginning as a commercial illustrator Andy Warhol became obsessed with the relationship between creative expression celebrity culture and mainstream mass production His most well known commission Campbellrsquos Soup I reverberated during the late 50rsquos and early 60rsquos as a sign of the times Consumerism was on the rise the American Dream was on a paradigm shit and life revolved around the elevated status of everyday consumer items Here Campbellrsquos Soup I is displayed according to his 1962 brief sprawled across a red wall and behind a miniature supermarket trolley brimming with red soup cans The display is strikingly reminiscent of a supermarket shelf and is undeniably effective

The exhibition also features the entire range of Warholrsquos repertoire including lithographs drawings paintings prints photography and silk-screens Several portraits of his many celebrity friends are prominently displayed in the exhibition The series of three portraits of Ingrid Bergman is haunting painting three different sides of the legendary screen siren

On the mezzanine at the far side of the gallery is the Cowboyrsquos and Indianrsquos series Coined from memorabilia from his own personal collection the series of 10 prints was inspired by postcards key rings and archival photographs collected in his travels throughout the years The collection is a study on Native American iconography and the mythos of the classic Western a breathtaking social commentary on the polemic relationship of indigenous tribes and their conquerors Across the floor from Cowboys and Indians is The Myths Collection featuring some select images in dazzling diamond dust The Myths Collection explores some of the worldrsquos most recognisable characters Mickey Mouse was rendered in black diamond dust while the red and White motif of Santarsquos costume was almost unrecognisable and even unnerving in deep shades of crimson

In the heyday of Andy Warholrsquos career The Factory became a safe-haven for the creative subversives of his time It was an exclusive gathering place for artists intellectuals Hollywood celebrities and drag queens and became a place where creativity flourished and the lines between art celebrity and culture were all obscured Today Halcyon Gallery becomes this space Warhol Icons explores our ever growing fascination with pop-culture while providing insight into the mind of the man behind the enigma

Andy Warhol Brand-Warhol Celebrity Friends And Soup Cans At Halcyon Gallery

Halcyon Gallery is currently presenting its first exhibition devoted entirely to the works of Andy Warhol The show has over one hundred pieces on display including graphics portfolios and original works on paper and canvas The exhibition explores Warholrsquos works from the artists early illustrative works of the 1950s through to Warhols Pop Art heyday in the 1960s culminating with works from 1987 before the artists untimely death as ldquoBob Robertrdquo and a gallbladder operation that would prove fatal

The exhibition is presented in a way that Im sure the artist would have approved of highlighting Brand-Warhol in all of its glory Shining forth from amongst the many portraits of iconic figures is a later portrait of the artist - Self Portrait in Fright Wig a collage work on paper which exudes the very nature of the brand Similar in nature to the artists Self-portraits and Skulls - which always exudes that intentional impersonality - this is classic Warhol - as if the self-portrait is in fact a disguise Here you get surface Warhol not the more fragile and darker one from the artists final works

Although the use of the same image juxtaposed with skulls in the artists Self-Portraits and Skulls espouses the bright Pop colours to reveal an obsession with death that was personal with an eye that suggests Warhol himself and not the work of one of his factory cohorts The portrait on its own is a reminder of the darkness that lies just beneath that commercial disguised surface

Amongst the mastery of brand is the glowering ghost-like portraits of Joseph Beuys - haunting enigmatic and seemingly rather personal - the work feels like it has the personal touch of the artist rather than the work of that factory mass production - this is the catholic Pop Art masters true obsession with mortality floating to the surface as Beuys stares out of the work hollow and implacable

But we soon return to celebrity friends such as Ingrid Bergman and Muhammad Ali reminding the viewer of the artists fascination and obsession with fame and of Warholrsquos commissioned portraits spanning the 1970s right up to the year before his death - with the artists wish for his society portraits to all hang together in a huge display at New Yorkrsquos Museum of Modern Art Here we return to Warhols enduring aesthetic - the artists concerns with death are again suppressed by that of celebrity as we leave behind Warhols obsessive electric chairs or car crashes and swiftly return to the artists fascination with the mass production of the image repetition and commercial cultural value

The largest installational display in the gallery follows Warholrsquos original 1962 brief as to simulate cans stacked along supermarket shelves with the repetition of the instantly-recognisable packaging present in the Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio returning the viewer to the intentional lightness of being mass production and explorations of the commercial image as culturally iconic The installation complete with shopping trolley and red walls discards the white cube nature of the London gallery creating a contemporary response to the artist that reminds the viewer of Warhols enduring relevance in our all-consuming culture

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

wwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

Warhol Icons Press Por tfoliowwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

Warhol Icons TWENTY6 Magazine

Andy Warhol was an enigma Known to many as the father of pop-art he has turned the art world on his head with his controversial career and fascination with celebrity culture and mass consumerism On an extended run until the 26th of June The Halcyon Gallery presents Warhol Icons its first exhibition featuring over one hundred pieces from Andy Warholrsquos extensive repertoire

Warhol Icons explores the legendary artistrsquos cultural significance beginning from his hand-drawn sketches in the late 1950s Our favourite is a playful collection of roughly drawn lithographs fondly entitled Love is a Pink Cake created with his lover Ralph Thomas Ward who accompanied the drawings with quirky poems celebrating their amorous relationship A rare glimpse into the psyche of pop-artrsquos most important figurehead

With a career beginning as a commercial illustrator Andy Warhol became obsessed with the relationship between creative expression celebrity culture and mainstream mass production His most well known commission Campbellrsquos Soup I reverberated during the late 50rsquos and early 60rsquos as a sign of the times Consumerism was on the rise the American Dream was on a paradigm shit and life revolved around the elevated status of everyday consumer items Here Campbellrsquos Soup I is displayed according to his 1962 brief sprawled across a red wall and behind a miniature supermarket trolley brimming with red soup cans The display is strikingly reminiscent of a supermarket shelf and is undeniably effective

The exhibition also features the entire range of Warholrsquos repertoire including lithographs drawings paintings prints photography and silk-screens Several portraits of his many celebrity friends are prominently displayed in the exhibition The series of three portraits of Ingrid Bergman is haunting painting three different sides of the legendary screen siren

On the mezzanine at the far side of the gallery is the Cowboyrsquos and Indianrsquos series Coined from memorabilia from his own personal collection the series of 10 prints was inspired by postcards key rings and archival photographs collected in his travels throughout the years The collection is a study on Native American iconography and the mythos of the classic Western a breathtaking social commentary on the polemic relationship of indigenous tribes and their conquerors Across the floor from Cowboys and Indians is The Myths Collection featuring some select images in dazzling diamond dust The Myths Collection explores some of the worldrsquos most recognisable characters Mickey Mouse was rendered in black diamond dust while the red and White motif of Santarsquos costume was almost unrecognisable and even unnerving in deep shades of crimson

In the heyday of Andy Warholrsquos career The Factory became a safe-haven for the creative subversives of his time It was an exclusive gathering place for artists intellectuals Hollywood celebrities and drag queens and became a place where creativity flourished and the lines between art celebrity and culture were all obscured Today Halcyon Gallery becomes this space Warhol Icons explores our ever growing fascination with pop-culture while providing insight into the mind of the man behind the enigma

Andy Warhol Brand-Warhol Celebrity Friends And Soup Cans At Halcyon Gallery

Halcyon Gallery is currently presenting its first exhibition devoted entirely to the works of Andy Warhol The show has over one hundred pieces on display including graphics portfolios and original works on paper and canvas The exhibition explores Warholrsquos works from the artists early illustrative works of the 1950s through to Warhols Pop Art heyday in the 1960s culminating with works from 1987 before the artists untimely death as ldquoBob Robertrdquo and a gallbladder operation that would prove fatal

The exhibition is presented in a way that Im sure the artist would have approved of highlighting Brand-Warhol in all of its glory Shining forth from amongst the many portraits of iconic figures is a later portrait of the artist - Self Portrait in Fright Wig a collage work on paper which exudes the very nature of the brand Similar in nature to the artists Self-portraits and Skulls - which always exudes that intentional impersonality - this is classic Warhol - as if the self-portrait is in fact a disguise Here you get surface Warhol not the more fragile and darker one from the artists final works

Although the use of the same image juxtaposed with skulls in the artists Self-Portraits and Skulls espouses the bright Pop colours to reveal an obsession with death that was personal with an eye that suggests Warhol himself and not the work of one of his factory cohorts The portrait on its own is a reminder of the darkness that lies just beneath that commercial disguised surface

Amongst the mastery of brand is the glowering ghost-like portraits of Joseph Beuys - haunting enigmatic and seemingly rather personal - the work feels like it has the personal touch of the artist rather than the work of that factory mass production - this is the catholic Pop Art masters true obsession with mortality floating to the surface as Beuys stares out of the work hollow and implacable

But we soon return to celebrity friends such as Ingrid Bergman and Muhammad Ali reminding the viewer of the artists fascination and obsession with fame and of Warholrsquos commissioned portraits spanning the 1970s right up to the year before his death - with the artists wish for his society portraits to all hang together in a huge display at New Yorkrsquos Museum of Modern Art Here we return to Warhols enduring aesthetic - the artists concerns with death are again suppressed by that of celebrity as we leave behind Warhols obsessive electric chairs or car crashes and swiftly return to the artists fascination with the mass production of the image repetition and commercial cultural value

The largest installational display in the gallery follows Warholrsquos original 1962 brief as to simulate cans stacked along supermarket shelves with the repetition of the instantly-recognisable packaging present in the Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio returning the viewer to the intentional lightness of being mass production and explorations of the commercial image as culturally iconic The installation complete with shopping trolley and red walls discards the white cube nature of the London gallery creating a contemporary response to the artist that reminds the viewer of Warhols enduring relevance in our all-consuming culture

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

wwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

Warhol Icons Press Por tfoliowwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

Andy Warhol Brand-Warhol Celebrity Friends And Soup Cans At Halcyon Gallery

Halcyon Gallery is currently presenting its first exhibition devoted entirely to the works of Andy Warhol The show has over one hundred pieces on display including graphics portfolios and original works on paper and canvas The exhibition explores Warholrsquos works from the artists early illustrative works of the 1950s through to Warhols Pop Art heyday in the 1960s culminating with works from 1987 before the artists untimely death as ldquoBob Robertrdquo and a gallbladder operation that would prove fatal

The exhibition is presented in a way that Im sure the artist would have approved of highlighting Brand-Warhol in all of its glory Shining forth from amongst the many portraits of iconic figures is a later portrait of the artist - Self Portrait in Fright Wig a collage work on paper which exudes the very nature of the brand Similar in nature to the artists Self-portraits and Skulls - which always exudes that intentional impersonality - this is classic Warhol - as if the self-portrait is in fact a disguise Here you get surface Warhol not the more fragile and darker one from the artists final works

Although the use of the same image juxtaposed with skulls in the artists Self-Portraits and Skulls espouses the bright Pop colours to reveal an obsession with death that was personal with an eye that suggests Warhol himself and not the work of one of his factory cohorts The portrait on its own is a reminder of the darkness that lies just beneath that commercial disguised surface

Amongst the mastery of brand is the glowering ghost-like portraits of Joseph Beuys - haunting enigmatic and seemingly rather personal - the work feels like it has the personal touch of the artist rather than the work of that factory mass production - this is the catholic Pop Art masters true obsession with mortality floating to the surface as Beuys stares out of the work hollow and implacable

But we soon return to celebrity friends such as Ingrid Bergman and Muhammad Ali reminding the viewer of the artists fascination and obsession with fame and of Warholrsquos commissioned portraits spanning the 1970s right up to the year before his death - with the artists wish for his society portraits to all hang together in a huge display at New Yorkrsquos Museum of Modern Art Here we return to Warhols enduring aesthetic - the artists concerns with death are again suppressed by that of celebrity as we leave behind Warhols obsessive electric chairs or car crashes and swiftly return to the artists fascination with the mass production of the image repetition and commercial cultural value

The largest installational display in the gallery follows Warholrsquos original 1962 brief as to simulate cans stacked along supermarket shelves with the repetition of the instantly-recognisable packaging present in the Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio returning the viewer to the intentional lightness of being mass production and explorations of the commercial image as culturally iconic The installation complete with shopping trolley and red walls discards the white cube nature of the London gallery creating a contemporary response to the artist that reminds the viewer of Warhols enduring relevance in our all-consuming culture

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

Andy Warhol Brand-Warhol Celebrity Friends And Soup Cans At Halcyon Gallery

Halcyon Gallery is currently presenting its first exhibition devoted entirely to the works of Andy Warhol The show has over one hundred pieces on display including graphics portfolios and original works on paper and canvas The exhibition explores Warholrsquos works from the artists early illustrative works of the 1950s through to Warhols Pop Art heyday in the 1960s culminating with works from 1987 before the artists untimely death as ldquoBob Robertrdquo and a gallbladder operation that would prove fatal

The exhibition is presented in a way that Im sure the artist would have approved of highlighting Brand-Warhol in all of its glory Shining forth from amongst the many portraits of iconic figures is a later portrait of the artist - Self Portrait in Fright Wig a collage work on paper which exudes the very nature of the brand Similar in nature to the artists Self-portraits and Skulls - which always exudes that intentional impersonality - this is classic Warhol - as if the self-portrait is in fact a disguise Here you get surface Warhol not the more fragile and darker one from the artists final works

Although the use of the same image juxtaposed with skulls in the artists Self-Portraits and Skulls espouses the bright Pop colours to reveal an obsession with death that was personal with an eye that suggests Warhol himself and not the work of one of his factory cohorts The portrait on its own is a reminder of the darkness that lies just beneath that commercial disguised surface

Amongst the mastery of brand is the glowering ghost-like portraits of Joseph Beuys - haunting enigmatic and seemingly rather personal - the work feels like it has the personal touch of the artist rather than the work of that factory mass production - this is the catholic Pop Art masters true obsession with mortality floating to the surface as Beuys stares out of the work hollow and implacable

But we soon return to celebrity friends such as Ingrid Bergman and Muhammad Ali reminding the viewer of the artists fascination and obsession with fame and of Warholrsquos commissioned portraits spanning the 1970s right up to the year before his death - with the artists wish for his society portraits to all hang together in a huge display at New Yorkrsquos Museum of Modern Art Here we return to Warhols enduring aesthetic - the artists concerns with death are again suppressed by that of celebrity as we leave behind Warhols obsessive electric chairs or car crashes and swiftly return to the artists fascination with the mass production of the image repetition and commercial cultural value

The largest installational display in the gallery follows Warholrsquos original 1962 brief as to simulate cans stacked along supermarket shelves with the repetition of the instantly-recognisable packaging present in the Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio returning the viewer to the intentional lightness of being mass production and explorations of the commercial image as culturally iconic The installation complete with shopping trolley and red walls discards the white cube nature of the London gallery creating a contemporary response to the artist that reminds the viewer of Warhols enduring relevance in our all-consuming culture

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

Andy Warhol Brand-Warhol Celebrity Friends And Soup Cans At Halcyon Gallery

Halcyon Gallery is currently presenting its first exhibition devoted entirely to the works of Andy Warhol The show has over one hundred pieces on display including graphics portfolios and original works on paper and canvas The exhibition explores Warholrsquos works from the artists early illustrative works of the 1950s through to Warhols Pop Art heyday in the 1960s culminating with works from 1987 before the artists untimely death as ldquoBob Robertrdquo and a gallbladder operation that would prove fatal

The exhibition is presented in a way that Im sure the artist would have approved of highlighting Brand-Warhol in all of its glory Shining forth from amongst the many portraits of iconic figures is a later portrait of the artist - Self Portrait in Fright Wig a collage work on paper which exudes the very nature of the brand Similar in nature to the artists Self-portraits and Skulls - which always exudes that intentional impersonality - this is classic Warhol - as if the self-portrait is in fact a disguise Here you get surface Warhol not the more fragile and darker one from the artists final works

Although the use of the same image juxtaposed with skulls in the artists Self-Portraits and Skulls espouses the bright Pop colours to reveal an obsession with death that was personal with an eye that suggests Warhol himself and not the work of one of his factory cohorts The portrait on its own is a reminder of the darkness that lies just beneath that commercial disguised surface

Amongst the mastery of brand is the glowering ghost-like portraits of Joseph Beuys - haunting enigmatic and seemingly rather personal - the work feels like it has the personal touch of the artist rather than the work of that factory mass production - this is the catholic Pop Art masters true obsession with mortality floating to the surface as Beuys stares out of the work hollow and implacable

But we soon return to celebrity friends such as Ingrid Bergman and Muhammad Ali reminding the viewer of the artists fascination and obsession with fame and of Warholrsquos commissioned portraits spanning the 1970s right up to the year before his death - with the artists wish for his society portraits to all hang together in a huge display at New Yorkrsquos Museum of Modern Art Here we return to Warhols enduring aesthetic - the artists concerns with death are again suppressed by that of celebrity as we leave behind Warhols obsessive electric chairs or car crashes and swiftly return to the artists fascination with the mass production of the image repetition and commercial cultural value

The largest installational display in the gallery follows Warholrsquos original 1962 brief as to simulate cans stacked along supermarket shelves with the repetition of the instantly-recognisable packaging present in the Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio returning the viewer to the intentional lightness of being mass production and explorations of the commercial image as culturally iconic The installation complete with shopping trolley and red walls discards the white cube nature of the London gallery creating a contemporary response to the artist that reminds the viewer of Warhols enduring relevance in our all-consuming culture

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

wwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

Warhol Icons Press Por tfoliowwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol Brand-Warhol Celebrity Friends And Soup Cans At Halcyon Gallery

Halcyon Gallery is currently presenting its first exhibition devoted entirely to the works of Andy Warhol The show has over one hundred pieces on display including graphics portfolios and original works on paper and canvas The exhibition explores Warholrsquos works from the artists early illustrative works of the 1950s through to Warhols Pop Art heyday in the 1960s culminating with works from 1987 before the artists untimely death as ldquoBob Robertrdquo and a gallbladder operation that would prove fatal

The exhibition is presented in a way that Im sure the artist would have approved of highlighting Brand-Warhol in all of its glory Shining forth from amongst the many portraits of iconic figures is a later portrait of the artist - Self Portrait in Fright Wig a collage work on paper which exudes the very nature of the brand Similar in nature to the artists Self-portraits and Skulls - which always exudes that intentional impersonality - this is classic Warhol - as if the self-portrait is in fact a disguise Here you get surface Warhol not the more fragile and darker one from the artists final works

Although the use of the same image juxtaposed with skulls in the artists Self-Portraits and Skulls espouses the bright Pop colours to reveal an obsession with death that was personal with an eye that suggests Warhol himself and not the work of one of his factory cohorts The portrait on its own is a reminder of the darkness that lies just beneath that commercial disguised surface

Amongst the mastery of brand is the glowering ghost-like portraits of Joseph Beuys - haunting enigmatic and seemingly rather personal - the work feels like it has the personal touch of the artist rather than the work of that factory mass production - this is the catholic Pop Art masters true obsession with mortality floating to the surface as Beuys stares out of the work hollow and implacable

But we soon return to celebrity friends such as Ingrid Bergman and Muhammad Ali reminding the viewer of the artists fascination and obsession with fame and of Warholrsquos commissioned portraits spanning the 1970s right up to the year before his death - with the artists wish for his society portraits to all hang together in a huge display at New Yorkrsquos Museum of Modern Art Here we return to Warhols enduring aesthetic - the artists concerns with death are again suppressed by that of celebrity as we leave behind Warhols obsessive electric chairs or car crashes and swiftly return to the artists fascination with the mass production of the image repetition and commercial cultural value

The largest installational display in the gallery follows Warholrsquos original 1962 brief as to simulate cans stacked along supermarket shelves with the repetition of the instantly-recognisable packaging present in the Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio returning the viewer to the intentional lightness of being mass production and explorations of the commercial image as culturally iconic The installation complete with shopping trolley and red walls discards the white cube nature of the London gallery creating a contemporary response to the artist that reminds the viewer of Warhols enduring relevance in our all-consuming culture

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

wwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

Warhol Icons Press Por tfoliowwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

The largest installational display in the gallery follows Warholrsquos original 1962 brief as to simulate cans stacked along supermarket shelves with the repetition of the instantly-recognisable packaging present in the Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio returning the viewer to the intentional lightness of being mass production and explorations of the commercial image as culturally iconic The installation complete with shopping trolley and red walls discards the white cube nature of the London gallery creating a contemporary response to the artist that reminds the viewer of Warhols enduring relevance in our all-consuming culture

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

wwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

Warhol Icons Press Por tfoliowwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

Andy Warhol Brand-Warhol Celebrity Friends And Soup Cans At Halcyon Gallery

Halcyon Gallery is currently presenting its first exhibition devoted entirely to the works of Andy Warhol The show has over one hundred pieces on display including graphics portfolios and original works on paper and canvas The exhibition explores Warholrsquos works from the artists early illustrative works of the 1950s through to Warhols Pop Art heyday in the 1960s culminating with works from 1987 before the artists untimely death as ldquoBob Robertrdquo and a gallbladder operation that would prove fatal

The exhibition is presented in a way that Im sure the artist would have approved of highlighting Brand-Warhol in all of its glory Shining forth from amongst the many portraits of iconic figures is a later portrait of the artist - Self Portrait in Fright Wig a collage work on paper which exudes the very nature of the brand Similar in nature to the artists Self-portraits and Skulls - which always exudes that intentional impersonality - this is classic Warhol - as if the self-portrait is in fact a disguise Here you get surface Warhol not the more fragile and darker one from the artists final works

Although the use of the same image juxtaposed with skulls in the artists Self-Portraits and Skulls espouses the bright Pop colours to reveal an obsession with death that was personal with an eye that suggests Warhol himself and not the work of one of his factory cohorts The portrait on its own is a reminder of the darkness that lies just beneath that commercial disguised surface

Amongst the mastery of brand is the glowering ghost-like portraits of Joseph Beuys - haunting enigmatic and seemingly rather personal - the work feels like it has the personal touch of the artist rather than the work of that factory mass production - this is the catholic Pop Art masters true obsession with mortality floating to the surface as Beuys stares out of the work hollow and implacable

But we soon return to celebrity friends such as Ingrid Bergman and Muhammad Ali reminding the viewer of the artists fascination and obsession with fame and of Warholrsquos commissioned portraits spanning the 1970s right up to the year before his death - with the artists wish for his society portraits to all hang together in a huge display at New Yorkrsquos Museum of Modern Art Here we return to Warhols enduring aesthetic - the artists concerns with death are again suppressed by that of celebrity as we leave behind Warhols obsessive electric chairs or car crashes and swiftly return to the artists fascination with the mass production of the image repetition and commercial cultural value

The largest installational display in the gallery follows Warholrsquos original 1962 brief as to simulate cans stacked along supermarket shelves with the repetition of the instantly-recognisable packaging present in the Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio returning the viewer to the intentional lightness of being mass production and explorations of the commercial image as culturally iconic The installation complete with shopping trolley and red walls discards the white cube nature of the London gallery creating a contemporary response to the artist that reminds the viewer of Warhols enduring relevance in our all-consuming culture

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

Andy Warhol Brand-Warhol Celebrity Friends And Soup Cans At Halcyon Gallery

Halcyon Gallery is currently presenting its first exhibition devoted entirely to the works of Andy Warhol The show has over one hundred pieces on display including graphics portfolios and original works on paper and canvas The exhibition explores Warholrsquos works from the artists early illustrative works of the 1950s through to Warhols Pop Art heyday in the 1960s culminating with works from 1987 before the artists untimely death as ldquoBob Robertrdquo and a gallbladder operation that would prove fatal

The exhibition is presented in a way that Im sure the artist would have approved of highlighting Brand-Warhol in all of its glory Shining forth from amongst the many portraits of iconic figures is a later portrait of the artist - Self Portrait in Fright Wig a collage work on paper which exudes the very nature of the brand Similar in nature to the artists Self-portraits and Skulls - which always exudes that intentional impersonality - this is classic Warhol - as if the self-portrait is in fact a disguise Here you get surface Warhol not the more fragile and darker one from the artists final works

Although the use of the same image juxtaposed with skulls in the artists Self-Portraits and Skulls espouses the bright Pop colours to reveal an obsession with death that was personal with an eye that suggests Warhol himself and not the work of one of his factory cohorts The portrait on its own is a reminder of the darkness that lies just beneath that commercial disguised surface

Amongst the mastery of brand is the glowering ghost-like portraits of Joseph Beuys - haunting enigmatic and seemingly rather personal - the work feels like it has the personal touch of the artist rather than the work of that factory mass production - this is the catholic Pop Art masters true obsession with mortality floating to the surface as Beuys stares out of the work hollow and implacable

But we soon return to celebrity friends such as Ingrid Bergman and Muhammad Ali reminding the viewer of the artists fascination and obsession with fame and of Warholrsquos commissioned portraits spanning the 1970s right up to the year before his death - with the artists wish for his society portraits to all hang together in a huge display at New Yorkrsquos Museum of Modern Art Here we return to Warhols enduring aesthetic - the artists concerns with death are again suppressed by that of celebrity as we leave behind Warhols obsessive electric chairs or car crashes and swiftly return to the artists fascination with the mass production of the image repetition and commercial cultural value

The largest installational display in the gallery follows Warholrsquos original 1962 brief as to simulate cans stacked along supermarket shelves with the repetition of the instantly-recognisable packaging present in the Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio returning the viewer to the intentional lightness of being mass production and explorations of the commercial image as culturally iconic The installation complete with shopping trolley and red walls discards the white cube nature of the London gallery creating a contemporary response to the artist that reminds the viewer of Warhols enduring relevance in our all-consuming culture

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

wwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

wwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

Warhol Icons Press Por tfoliowwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

wwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

Warhol Icons Press Por tfoliowwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

wwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

Warhol Icons Press Por tfoliowwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

wwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

Warhol Icons Press Por tfoliowwwvmagazinecom 19 April 2016

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

A huge and comprehensive exhibit of Andy Warholrsquos best work Warhol Icons has opened at the Halcyon Gallery With more than 100 works on display it is the Halcyonrsquos first show focusing entirely on Warholrsquos art from the 1950s to the late 1980s

This remarkable eclectic compilation is displayed on three floors of the spacious gallery and includes pieces that are very well known such as his Marilyn (Monroe) screenprint and a room devoted to his Campbell Soup Cans series and lesser known art works revealing aspects of Warholrsquos personality and interests perhaps unknown to many For example the artist was a proponent of nature conservation and the protection of endangered species as shown in his screen-prints of wild animals Details of Renaissance Paintings and his Beethoven compositions take inspiration from art history and Hammer and Sickle and Mao are notes to politics

Interestingly Warholrsquos art touches on topics relevant today His Endangered Species series and Cowboys and Indians for example reflect contemporary concerns for the environment and indigenous populations

A poignant early work of Warholrsquos ink line drawings illustrating poems written by his lover artist Richard Ward (Corkie) is titled Love Is a Pink Cake (ldquoby Corkie and Andyrdquo) The complete 25 offset lithographs mainly contain images and poetry about historical figures such as Anthony and Cleopatra and Napoleon ldquoNapoleon loved Josephine made her Empress and Queen but never gave her all his heart such a man was Bonaparterdquo

Primarily known for his comments on pop culture via his images of American products and celebrities Warholrsquos most famous pieces are many in this retrospective exhibition such an extensive collection of these iconic multi-pastel colored renditions has rarely been seen in one space His classic 1981 signed Myths Invitations ndash with images of fantasy icons the Wicked Witch of the West Santa Claus Mammy from Gone with the Wind Superman Garbo Uncle Sam Mickey Mouse Howdy Doodie Boris Karloff ndash is one of many of his most recognisable pieces on show

Warhol Icons at the Halcyon Gallery is a comprehensive and extraordinary collection of the artistrsquos work A delight for art lovers and a must-see for Warhol aficionados

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

AvendonWarhol is exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery until 23 April 2016 - The book AvedonWarhol with an introduction by Larry Gagosian and essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian is published via Abrams

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15

There are two noteworthy Andy Warhol exhibits taking place in London right now

One appears at the Halcyon Gallery nestled in between some of the iconic brands Warhol featured in his work - Dior Chanel etc - while the other takes place at the Gagosian more comfortable in the grit and bustle of Kingrsquos Cross

At the Halcyon Gallery around 10 of Warholrsquos portfoliorsquos are arranged in a way that takes the viewer from one aspect of his career to another and sets out to surprise by confronting them with early illustrative works from the 50s that are rarely mentioned in popular discussions of his work

Kate Brown Art Director at the Halcyon Gallery tells The Independent ldquoWe are incredibly proud to be exhibiting over 100 works by Andy Warhol

ldquoFrom his early illustrative works of the 50s through to the iconic works of the late 80s the exhibition spans elements of Warholrsquos entire career

ldquoThis exhibition is an opportunity to view an expansive collection of work by a Pop Art icon and to understand the importance and influence of his work on contemporary artistsrdquo

Along with Campbellrsquos Soup I the exhibition features an original Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup which while not as celebrated as the iconic tin can image showcases Warholrsquos elevation of the everyday object

It features the rarely-seen Anatom (Rado Watches) ndash produced just a few months before Warholrsquos death and one of the last works he ever created one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the iconic Rado DiaStar lsquoAnatomrsquo watch

Meanwhile at the Gagosian AvedonWarhol is a compelling exploration of the artistsrsquo shared focus on portraiture and emphasises common themes such as social and political power the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and of course the glamour and despair of celebrity

The exhibition coincides with a book on the same subject which also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Ara H Merjian as well as a chronology documenting the artistsrsquo careers and points of intersection

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

He was famed for his peculiar aphorisms (ldquoArt is what you can get away withrdquo) and predictions (ldquoIn the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutesrdquo) and idolized for his eclectic encounters and entourage (Halston Bianca Paloma Edie Jean-Michel et al) He was heralded for making his sitters bloom thanks to unorthodox color combinations through the canvas was highly admired for his cunning marketable skills and remains a multifaceted icon to write about (Bob Colacellorsquos Holy Terror is by far one of the most phenomenal and acute accounts of the artist) You get the picture Andy Warhol will never cease to fascinate

Following in the footsteps of Rauschenberg and Johns the now proclaimed lsquoKing of Pop Artrsquo will always remain a most enthralling subject of debate But as they say art is subjectivemdashand yet the market canrsquot get enough Notorious for his equal obsession with mass consumption and commissions alike Andy Warhol is still one of the most relevant artists of today

For the first time since its inception in 1982 the Halcyon Gallery in London has dedicated an entire show of more than 100 works devoted to Warhol A miniature retrospective if you will the exhibition presents pieces from the artistrsquos debut as an illustrator to print doyen while also displaying some never-before-seen works With its one-of-a-kind displays (cubes of Marilyn are involved) the galleryrsquos Art Director Kate Brown talks to V about the curation process Warholrsquos enduring appeal and getting to work with explosions of color

This is Halcyon Galleryrsquos first solo show of Andy Warhol Why decide to do so at this specific moment in time

KATE BROWN We have been amassing a significant collection of over 100 works by Warhol for the past three yearsndashcollecting portfolios and key works that are in pristine condition and with impeccable provenance It is a long process takes time careful consideration a lot of hard work and love to put something of this scale together The works came from all over the world

Were there any pieces difficult to get a hold of

KB Yes all great art is hard to acquire Itrsquos not just the quality of the condition of each piece This is a particularly complex process when dealing with the original paintings We also ensure that all the research and due diligence are prepared along with certifications before we acquire the works which can be a lengthy process The Anatom (Rado Watches) for instance is possibly one of the last works Warhol ever painted being completed in early 1987 before his untimely death on February 22nd It has not been seen in the public since its conception

Where are most of the pieces from Did any collection belong to personalities who were part of Andyrsquos circle

KB The collection is from a diverse number of places and people The Mao portfolio (1972) for example was acquired from a private collector who had spent many years lovingly acquiring the full set of 10 with each piece in immaculate condition We also acquired a spectacular collage work on paper Self Portrait in Fright Wigmdashthis haunting but sensational image was one of five known works Warhol completed in this series in 1986

In your view what is so unique about this exhibition

KB The breadth of the exhibition from his early illustrative works of the 1950s like Tattooed Woman Holding Rose (1955)mdashwhich Warhol effectively used as his business cardmdashthrough to the iconic works of the late 1980s the exhibition touches most elements of Warholrsquos entire career and gives viewers the opportunity to see original works on canvas paper and some of his most important portfolios When you encounter such a spectrum of an artistrsquos career you can really see how Warholrsquos influence has spanned across so many disciplines

What do you think makes Andy Warholrsquos work so fascinating and relevant at the same time

KB His works explore the relationship between artistic expression celebrity culture and advertisement which are very

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

much key themes in todayrsquos times Andy Warhol is even more relevant today than he was during his lifetimendashhe truly recognised the power of the brand He also understood the art of commissioning and he loved that people could buy his work He has become one of the most influential people on contemporary artists of every discipline and as the world expands so does the appeal of Andy Warhol with museum exhibitions concentrating on his work from Korea New York Singapore to Paris London etc Major brands today still want the endorsement and image of Andy Warhol on their products His influence is clearly stronger today than it has ever been

Are all pieces for sale Has there been an increase in demand for Andy Warhol pieces

KB Many of the works have already been acquired but yes the exhibition works are for sale The demand for Warholrsquos artwork continues to grow and remains one of the strongest performers at auction in private sales and as a highlight of global museum programs We work with museums regularly in loaning works across both the graphics and originals The graphics are now a key element in any major Andy Warhol exhibition and we continue to do tremendous amounts of research discovering new people and new stories relating to Warhol some of which you can discover at this wonderful show

Which pieces do you think are representative of his best work Are some more popular than others amongst collectors

KB So many of Warholrsquos works can now be heralded as iconic whether itrsquos the portraits of movie stars such as Marilyn (1967) the Chanel No 5 bottle from the Ads portfolio (1985) or the seminal Campbellrsquos Soup I portfolio (1968) or Campbellrsquos Soup Box Chicken Soup (1986) Some of the works in this exhibition have never been seen before and we hope to highlight many lesser known works such as The Details of Renaissance Paintings (1984)ndashof which the Botticelli works are also hanging in the Victoria amp Albertrsquos museum exhibition ldquoBotticelli Reimaginedrdquo

How did the curation go about

KB We conceived the idea for the Campbellrsquos Soup I installation as really the beginning of the exhibition it echoes and pays homage to Warholrsquos first exhibition with Irving Blum in 1962 for which he created his famous soup can paintings displayed in the gallery to represent the supermarket shelves on which the soup cans were stored We dedicated the entire mezzanine space in the gallery to the influence of Campbellrsquos Soups showing rarely seen sculptural Campbellrsquos Soup Boxes (1986) and smaller original paintings

What did you hope to achieve visually speaking

KB A visual experience I think Warhol was a genius with colour For example he really understood how to make black black as seen in the unique trial proof edition of the Myths portfolio (1981) we have displayed The exhibition covers work from the 50s starting with his blotted line technique through to the crisp screen printing of the Campbellrsquos Soup I to the more flamboyant portfolios and experimental screen print paintings of the late 1980s

Which particular works get to show a side of Andy that perhaps was surprising as you started putting artworks together

KB When you put the whole collection together it literally is an explosion of color form and ideas To see people of all ages come through the door of the gallery with their phones and cameras madly taking photos as Andy did with his camera back then is I imagine exactly what he would have wanted And with social media transmitting those images to millions more people the impact just grows Another celebration of the lsquomass effectrsquo

What do you hope to achieve with this exhibition

KB Halcyon Galleryrsquos ethos has always been to have a very open door policy and to create inventive and academic displays for exhibitions It has always been of paramount importance that people come to the gallery and learn something about the artists And with this exhibition we hope they experience the visual genius of Andy Warhol

WARHOL ICONS is on view now at the Halcyon Gallery in London through May 15
