Andy Warhol, Self-Portrait, 1967 metmuseum.org
Regarding Warhol: Sixty Artists, Fifty Years is a major upcoming exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, set to explore Andy Warhol's influence on contemporary art by placing forty-five of his works alongside one hundred works by sixty other prominent artists. I found the Museum's choices quite intriguing, not least of all because they include some of my favourite artists, such as John Baldessari, Barbara Kruger, and Cindy Sherman. The exhibition will run from 18 September to 31 December 2012; you can find out more about its five thematic sections here, and see a selection of artworks here.
In the meantime, there is a selection of Billy Name's pictures of daily life at Andy Warhol's Factory on East Forty-Seventh Street; Jesse Wender posted them, together with an interview with the photographer, in The New Yorker.
