de Young Museum – presents “Warhol Live” – San Francisco

Art and music go together like bread and buttah, so it makes perfect sense that over the course of his meteoric career, the legendary Andy Warhol (1928–1987) used the medium of music to transform himself from fan, to record album designer, to producer, to celebrity night-clubber, to rock star.
Thankfully, a new retrospective exhibit, Warhol Live at San Francisco’s de Young Museum, presents the very first comprehensive exploration of Warhol’s work as seen through the lens of music.
This exhibition brings together a wide variety of works depicting pop music royalty, including Elvis Presley, the Velvet Underground, Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones, Liza Minnelli, Grace Jones, Deborah Harry of Blondie, and Michael Jackson. Major Warhol silkscreen paintings, album covers, illustrations, and photographs inspired by music and the performing arts, along with films and sound recordings, are sure to provide a visual and aural score to Warhol’s extraordinary work and life.
We simply cannot wait until Valentine’s Day. Not because we’re mushy saps, but because February 14th, 2009 marks the opening of Warhol Live at the de Young. Whether you’re in a loving relationship or hate cupid, get out on the 14th and check out the amazing work of Warhol. If you like art and music (and if you’re reading this, how could you not?) there’s pretty much no way you can be disappointed.
