Singaporetourismmap: Andy Warhol: Fifteen Minutes Eternal

The latest travelling exhibit showing at the ArtScience museum is, 'Andy Warhol: 15 Minutes Eternal', which I was invited to become as well as run across this last weekend. I acknowledge to non knowing a bully bargain nearly Andy Warhol beyond him beingness a component of the popular fine art scene as well as knowing of his iconic Marilyn Monroe as well as Campbell's soup tin prints. So I was looking frontward to visiting the exhibit as well as hopefully expanding my personal knowledge.

The exhibit features over 260 of his paintings, drawings as well as sculptures equally good equally celluloid as well as video of the artist's work and are on display here on the 25th anniversary of his death. It encompasses the breadth of his career as well as personal interests as well as is the initiatory of all fourth dimension such an extensive collection has been exhibited inwards Singapore. The exhibit is named afterward possibly Andy Warhol's most famous quote (and i of the other things I could confidently say I knew nearly him beforehand), that everyone volition taste 15 minutes of fame.

As you lot walk through the tour you lot accept inwards 4 primal stages of Warhol's life, get-go alongside the 1940's correct upward to his lastly plant inwards the 1980's. The initiatory of all section has examples of his early on run as well as the influences on him. This includes the drawing below (being a truthful cat lover I was straight off drawn to this one) which, I learnt, is an early on event of the blotted line of piece of employment technique he developed. If you lot await closely, when you lot visit, you lot tin forcefulness out clearly run across gaps inwards the outline of the cat.

We as well as thus came to the artworks I was most familiar with, in a department titled, 'The Factory Years - 1960's'. Here were those prints of Marilyn Monroe as well as the numerous Campbell's soup tin prints. This department also allows you lot to experience a recreation of the Silver Factory. This was what Warhol's studio inwards New York in the 1960's was known equally because it was exclusively covered inwards silvery foil. In hither you lot tin forcefulness out taste some of the films Warhol made equally good equally play alongside huge silvery helium balloons, a recreation of his slice entitled 'Silver Clouds' from 1966.

The 1970's component of the exhibit takes you lot on to Warhol's involvement in the purpose of Polaroids to photograph celebrities as well as his commissioned portraits of them. There are numerous photographs as well as portraits on display as well as it is a fascinating glimpse dorsum into the globe of celebrity from this time. You also acquire to run across i of the many fourth dimension capsules that Warhol began creating at this stage, containing meaningful items from his life.

Finally you lot go into the 1980's, hither were a grouping of paintings that I was personally actually taken with, his Endangered Species series. A series of prints of some of the world's endangered animals inwards beautifully brilliant colours. This department also includes 'The Last Supper' (see below) which was created at the real terminate of his life.

After you lot exit the Warhol exhibit you lot tin forcefulness out also catch inwards a split gallery how his run has influenced South East Asian artists. I would recommend you lot accept a await at this equally in that place are some wonderful pieces done inwards a Warhol mode but alongside a uniquely Asian slant. For example, a accept on the famous Campbell soup tin forcefulness out prints using local household brands of luncheon meat as well as tinned lychee's.

The exhibition also allows visitors to acquire some hands on experience likewise alongside silkscreen printing workshops (a technique used yesteryear Andy Warhol) being run every Sabbatum as well as Sunday, 2pm - 3pm. As component of my see I had the risk to have a become at this too. Apart from a few arts as well as crafts I haven't done anything similar this for longer than I help to shout out upward nearly (certainly I was at school) but it was bully fun and I was real pleased alongside the terminate result. If you lot fancy trying your mitt at this the workshops are run inwards the Main Galleries (Level B2) as well as it is opened upward to all-access exceed as well as 'Andy Warhol: 15 Minutes Eternal' ticket holders only. Registration for this commences one-half an threescore minutes before the session starts at the workshop venue. In add-on to this in that place are also a wealth of fun things for children (and adults) to interact alongside inwards the exhibit as well as to take away alongside them at the end. Including the risk to build your ain Warhol mode spectacles as well as build a fourth dimension capsule box to give-up the ghost on your ain meaningful items in.
