Andy Warhol Wallpaper Installed at the Brooklyn Museum
Last month at the Brooklyn Museum Gala a 25 foot-high pinata that bore an uncanny resemblance to Andy Warhol was installed in the glass pavilion. Andy Warhol's image returns and is now on the walls of the Museum's first floor gallery.
In 1978, Andy Warhol designed a self portrait screen print on wallpaper; this wallpaper will be installed in the Andy Warhol: The Last Decade exhibition by Amir Hasam. Amir has worked on multiple projects at the Brooklyn Museum including Kiki Smith: Sojourn and © MURAKAMI.
The Brooklyn Museum, housed in a 560,000-square-foot, Beaux-Arts building, is one of the oldest and largest art museums in the country. Its world-renowned Permanent Collections range from ancient Egyptian masterpieces to contemporary art, and represent a wide range of cultures. Only a 30-minute subway ride from midtown Manhattan, with its own newly renovated subway station, the Museum is part of a complex of nineteenth-century parks and gardens that also includes Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the Prospect Park Zoo.
