“LETTERS TO ANDY WARHOL” EXHIBIT
Cadillac and The Andy Warhol Museum present a new global traveling exhibition titled “Letters to Andy Warhol.” The collaborative project between the brand and the cultural institution celebrates Warhol’s legacy through imaginative, co-created content and experiences. The exhibition features rarely seen material from the museum’s archive, including artwork and Warhol’s personal correspondence, plus artistic contributions from several modern-day cultural creators including Aimee Mullins, Brian Atwood, Chiara Clemente, Derek Blasberg, David LaChapelle, Francesco Clemente, J.J. Martin, Nick Rhodes, Sean Lennon, Sienna Miller and Zac Posen.
Together, the works explore recurring themes from the Warhol’s body of work such as the blurring of art and commerce and the trials of fame. The result is an examination of not only Warhol, the American icon, but also Warhol the multi-faceted, sensitive and ambitious artist who reached for inspiration across the colliding worlds of fashion, music, media, art and celebrity.
The “Letters to Andy Warhol” exhibition made its debut at Cadillac House in New York in Fall 2016. The exhibit will travel to Miami in early February for display at Palm Court before going on a global tour through early 2018.
