Author Daniel Jacobson Posted on Leave a comment on Warhol in Porto Baruch’s Undergraduate Research and Creative Inquiry Expoīaruch’s Journalism Department presents, in collaboration with the Harman Writer-in-Residence Program, a reading and conversation with student winners of the “What Is Home? “ essay contest. Sounds like this alone may be worth a trip to Porto. The exhibition runs until January 31st, 2023. The work on display also extends beyond Warhol to other artists – ranging from those of decades past to those of the contemporary moment – as they reflect on Warhol’s perennial themes of commodification, repetition, hero worship, queerness, and religious iconography. These photos and prints have never been exhibited before on the European continent. Most of the exhibition revolves around a collection of Warhol’s Polaroids from 1972–1986 and 30 black and white gelatin silver prints from the 70s and 80s which were gifted to the Mishkin Gallery directly by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts through their Photographic Legacy Program to expand scholarship on his work. Warhol, People and Things: 1972–2022, co-curated by Alaina Claire Feldman (Director and Curator, Mishkin Gallery) and Barbara Piwowarska (Artistic Director, Casa São Roque), opened on May 21st at Casa São Roque, Centro de Arte in Porto, Portugal and has already received rave reviews. After Netflix’s moving “ Andy Warhol Diaries,” which documents the Pop artist’s quotidian experiences of 70s and 80s and attempts to locate the man behind the machine, the Mishkin Gallery is bringing Andy’s work to a new generation of Portuguese art lovers. This year has already proved to be an exciting one for Warhol fans.
