Andy Warhol

January 21, 2009: See Andy Warhol's Superman in New York

The Nassau County Museum is hosting "Andy Warhol Silkscreens", a display of works by the American Pop Art master, including a painting of Superman.

    In Andy Warhol Silkscreens, Nassau County Museum of Art (NCMA) presents a select exhibition of work by an audacious pioneer who, by using images of popular American culture and commerce, altered perceptions about what constitutes art. The exhibition, opening on January 18 and continuing through May 26 in NCMA's Library Gallery, showcases some of Warhol's classic pop subjects among them Marilyn Monroe, Mao Tse-Tung, Superman, Campbell Soup Cans, Dollar Signs and Martha Graham/The Kick. In these and other prints, Warhol incorporates many of the same techniques that he used in his paintings, As a result, Warhol prints have soared in both esteem and value to the point that they're presently selling for what Warhol paintings might have fetched just a decade ago.
