A fascinating look at the early years of Andy Warhol
Learn how Andrew Warhola became Andy Warhol, and discover his early works at MoMA's latest installation
Everyone has to start somewhere, even Andy Warhol, though it’s hard to imagine that today; he produced some of the most famous artworks of the 20th century after all. Nevertheless there was a time when he was an unknown, freshly arrived from out of town, and looking to make his mark. Recently MoMA opened an exhibition that looks back at Warhol’s early years, particularly a solo show in Los Angeles that established him as a star. The story of how he got there is a fascinating one.
“Andy Warhol: Campbell’s Soup Cans and Other Works, 1953–1967” is at the Museum of Modern Art through Oct 12.

Often installed in a grid, Warhol's Campbell's Soup Can paintings were originally hung in a single line at Ferus, an installation MoMA revives here in its look at Warhol's early years, when he turned the art world upside down.
