Personal Jesus and Carryin’ On close Sept. 2nd!
Two exhibits come to a close this weekend at the Warhol and I think both of them are at least semi-interesting, so if you don’t have a picnic or party to go to this weekend, I say check them out.
The first one is titled “Personal Jesus: The Religious Art of Keith Haring and Andy Warhol” and features each artist’s take on religion and spirituality in their lives. According to the Warhol’s website, Hering’s work will include Andy Mouse, Apocalypse, Prophets of Rage, The Blueprint drawings, Totem, as well as a couple of untitled pieces and a self-portrait.
Warhol’s work will include Cross, The Last Supper, Madonna and Child, as well as numerous other works of art.
The second exhibit titled “Carryin’ On” captures the essence of the Black queer experience in Pittsburgh, namely through photographs taken during the 1930’s, 40’s and then later on in 1975 with Warhol’s series Ladies and Gentlemen.
Photographers featured in the exhibit include Charles “Teenie” Harris and Samuel Fosso.
