Written 30 January |
Wednesday 25 March, 10:00Grand Palais, 75008 [map]
In 1962, Andy Warhol painted portraits of such figures as Marilyn Monroe and Liz Taylor. From 1967 to 1987, many cinema and music star portraits were produced, including those of Elvis Presley, Brigitte Bardot, Jane Fonda, Mick Jagger, Sylvester Stallone as well as many other artists;
Man Ray,
David Hockney,
Joseph Beuys, and
Keith Haring, placing portraiture back in favour whilst at the same time developing a new set of conventions.
250 works-amongst thousands of portraits painted since the start of the 60s- are presented side by side with the other large themes of Warhol’s work: Autoportraits, the Screentests, the Mao portraits, the Dollar signs, the Catastrophes and the Last Supper to produce a comprehensive and fascinating retrospective.
