The Dalí Museum is debuting a new exhibit and for the first time, it's not Salvador Dalí. It's Andy Warhol. The exhibit opens Saturday through April.
The exhibit: "Warhol: Art. Fame. Mortality" highlights the different perspectives but also the connection between two famous masters of art. Museum director Hank Hines says that if Dalí was radical in the way he took his subject- the changeable human self- and took it through different media."Warhol was radical in that he took the media itself as his subject", explained Hines. "So glossy magazines, catalogues of American consumer materials became his subject and brought us into a new intimacy with our own world."
The exhibit includes paintings, drawings, films and photographs on loan from the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.
