In Living Color: Andy Warhol and Contemporary Printmaking, from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and his Family Foundationthrough January 17, 2016Helmerich Gallery, Philbrook

w h at d o m a r i ly n Monroe, flowers, Chair-man Mao and camouflage all have in common? They are among the many iconic and colorful subjects explored by American Pop Art legend, Andy Warhol.

Fifty of Warhol’s famous celebrity portraits and depictions of everyday objects from the 1960s to 1980s form the centerpiece of Philbrook’s fall exhi-bition, In Living Color. Complementing Warhol’s work are prints in a wide variety of subjects and styles by 17 other notable contemporary artists such as Keith Haring, Chuck Close, Helen Franken-thaler, and Edward Ruscha.

During the Pop era, Warhol and his contemporaries sought to eradicate the notion of the genius artist and downplay the individual’s role in “high art” by adopting mechanical means of produc-tion, largely through screen prints and lithography, allowing endless reproduc-tion and a further democratizing of art. In addition to adopting printmaking methods previously considered commer-cial, many of these artists also turned to everyday subjects of contemporary con-sumer culture–advertising, newspapers, comic-book frames and the entertain-ment industry–for inspiration. Such subjects and experiments in printmaking techniques challenged assumptions of what “fine art” should and could be. The resulting graphic forms, new dimensions, and bright colors of Pop Art continue to impact both subject and viewer, trans-forming visions of everyday objects for consumption into veiled commentaries

on contemporary life. Their power and pull remain as popular today as ever.

In Living Color draws exclusively from the collection of Jordan D. Schnitzer, a Portland, Oregon-based, internationally known collector responsible for amassing one of the most prestigious contemporary print collections in the United States. With this traveling exhibition, his family foundation endeavors to help audiences experience some of the most noteworthy artists of the 20th century.

Organized in five thematic sections— Attitude, Experience, Experimentation, Emotion and Subversion—the exhi-bition showcases a cross-section of contemporary prints, placing Warhol in conversation with Post-War colleagues. Created amid the context of race riots, the Cold War, and the rise of celebrity culture, the images reveal twenty artists’ varying aesthetic concerns and stylistic approaches during the sweeping changes of the second half of the nineteenth century. “Although not all of the work in this exhibition responds directly to Andy Warhol, his example reverberates throughout contemporary printmaking,” says originating curator Karin Camp-bell. “Warhol depicted the world with the volume turned up.”

This exhibition marks the fourth stop in a touring exhibition organized by the Joslyn Art Museum.

The Essence of Things brings together approxi-mately 180 objects, ranging from humble everyday items like flip-flops and lip balm to more substantial chairs and lamps.

Japanese Painted Screens and Scrolls: Scenes from the Edo PeriodMarch 6–June 26, 2016, PhilbrookThe Edo Period (1603–1868) is known for the strict enforcement of social order and isolationist foreign policy. It was also a time of expansive economic growth and surge in the creation and consumption of art. Painted screens and scrolls were among the art forms enjoyed by many classes within Japanese society who purchased or commissioned painters to create illustrations of traditional stories as well as landscapes and scenes of daily life and seasonal activities. Curated by: Christina E. Burke, Curator of Native American and Non-Western Art.

Cady Wells: RuminationsApril 2–October 2, 2016, Philbrook DowntownIn partnership with the New Mexico Museum of Art, Santa Fe, Philbrook presents the dynamic watercolor paintings of Cady Wells (1904–1954). This group of more than 25 works—most on loan from the New Mexico Museum of Art collection—features Wells’ uniquely modernist interpretations of Southwestern landforms and cultural-religious traditions. Curated by: Catherine Whitney, Chief Philbrook Curator and Curator of American Art.
