ARTH 100-301 • Spiegel Freshman Seminar: Warhol • time TBA

Instructor: Schaffner

     

Soup Cans are the tip of the iceberg. Impacting culture on every front--art, music, fashion, film, design, popular culture and the media—Andy Warhol is one of the iconic figures of the 20th century. And in 1965 the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) at the University of Pennsylvania made art history by presenting Warhol’s first museum exhibition. The project of this seminar will be to explore Warhol’s career through the fiction of a sequel exhibition that class will collectively organize based on individual presentations and roundtable discussion. Emphasis is on research and writing to produce everything from the press release to catalog entries for the mock museum show. A field trip to the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh is planned.
