Andy Warhol. Images of an image
Description
At once banal and provocative, the works of Andy Warhol sardonically comment on the ubiquity of mass media in modern America. This program takes a look at the Pop Art movement and the life of Warhol through a penetrating investigation of his deadpan Ten Lizes. The painting exemplifies his fascination with-and his indifference to-celebrities as objects no less commodified than a simple can of soup.
