Series Without Limits: Photographs, Prints, and Film by Andy Warhol

–

Andy Warhol shaped the zeitgeist of American culture in the 1960s and 1970s—an era defined by Pop art and shifting social paradigms—and continues to resonate in contemporary visual culture.

Series Without Limits presents Warhol’s artistic legacy through a selection of prints, photographs, and film to illuminate the complex tensions animated within his artistic practice. Warhol investigates how images function as currency within society. The selection of screenprint portraits on view reveal Warhol’s fascination with fame and celebrity culture.

The film Eat (1964) captures Warhol’s interest in pushing cinema beyond entertainment toward a more conceptual framework that questions our perception of an artist and patience.
