The name of American artist Andy Warhol is all but synonymous with Pop art, the movement he helped shape in the 1960s. He is known for his clever appropriation of motifs and images from popular advertising and commercials, which he integrated into graphic, vibrant works that utilized mass-production technologies such as printmaking, photography and silkscreening. Later in his career, he expanded his oeuvre to include other forms of media, founding Interview magazine and producing fashion shoots and films on-site at the Factory, his world-famous studio in New York. This vibrant silkscreen poster was created for the Andy Warhol Exhibition held from May 12 - June 21, 1970 at the Pasadena Museum. This exhibition then traveled to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Stedelijk Van Abbe Museum in Eindhoven, the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris in Paris, The Tate Gallery in London and The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Another impression of this Pasadena Poster is in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.
