Shadows | Images

Andy Warhol

August 23 - October 2, 2005

Warhol's Shadow prints, like their counterparts on canvas, represent a far less familiar aspect of the artist's work than the celebrated icons of Elvis, Marilyn, and Campbell's. Nevertheless, they are reminders of Warhol's canny sense of the duality of image and abstraction. The images were silkscreened from photographs of shadows, pointing to the ethereality of all subjects, whether celluloid heroes or skulls.
