American Dream: One of Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe serigraphs. |
Andy Warhol Mentioned in the Church News
by Matt "Chris" Christensen
February 2006
The name of renowned gay artist Andy Warhol appeared last week in an unlikely place--The LDS Church News. A story on the Feb. 4, 2006 announced an exhibit scheduled to open Feb. 24 at Brigham Young University's Museum of Art.
"American Dreams: Selected Works from the Museum's Permanent Collection of American Art" will include 10 of Warhol's famous serigraphs of Marilyn Monroe. Made in 1967, the serigraphs were given to BYU in 1987.
Despite the universal fame of the Warhol serigraphs, the Church News
chose to illustrate its story with works by other artists.
To
see the BYU serigraphs, go to the website of the BYU Museum of Art .
