At what point did Andy Warhol’s fascination with America’s consumer culture turn to its darker side?
A new exhibition at Mexico City’s influential Museo Jumex, Andy Warhol. Dark Star, attempts to provide insights into the conceptual and technical shifts that marked the first decade of the Pop Art giant’s art career. On display throughout all of the institution’s exhibition spaces are more than 150 works that start with his breakthrough post-war paintings of consumer products and then move to the enigmatic silk-screen series that portray movie stars, celebrities, and disasters. Curated by guest Douglas Fogle, now of the Carnegie Museum of Art in Warhol’s native Pittsburgh, the exhibition opened June 2 and runs through Sept. 17. It is the largest major survey of its kind to be staged in Mexico.
Here, a look at some of Andy Warhol. Dark Star’s images.
