ANDY WARHOL - FROM A TO B AND BACK AGAIN

January 24, 2019

Many will remember the NGV’s Andy Warhol — Ai Weiwei exhibition, which took a comparative look at the oft-parallel works of two colourful, controversial minds from different zeitgeists.

The Whitney Museum of American Art brings us a more thorough, A to Z - or should we say, A to B to back again - retrospective look at Warhol’s life and works, with everything from iconic recognisable works such as his Self-Portraits and Campbell's Soup Cans, to sketches and television interview clips cut together.

Is the exhibition made that much more poignant by being shown in Warhol’s famed stomping ground of New York City? Undeniably.

SEEKING COMMON GROUND

November 7, 2016

While everyone's frothing over the NGV's current Viktor&Rolf exhibition (as they rightly should be), let's not forget that those of us running low on coin can still enjoy the free charms the establishment has to offer.

Cue Common Ground - a modern medley of contemporary artworks from the NGV's permanent collection, spanning across all types of artistic mediums and united thematically in categories like "anthopomorphism" and "time". The unique layout of the exhibition space alone is enough to pique gallery-goer curiosity - and make sure you take a closer look at the Tracey Emin neon piece; it's backstory is not one to be missed.
