Andy Warhol as Filmmaker
Thursday, July 13
5:30 p.m.
Created in the 1960s, the films of Andy Warhol are among the most significant works in the career of this prolific and mercurial artist. Jesse Kowalski, Curator of Exhibitions for Norman Rockwell Museum, will discuss these works, created from 1963 through 1968. Nearly 650 films are among this body of work, including hundreds of silent Screen Tests, or portrait films, and dozens of full-length movies, in styles ranging from minimalist avant-garde to commercial “sexploitation.” Warhol’s films are known as explorations that go well beyond the frontiers of conventional cinema. Free for Museum members, or included with Museum admission.
