New York in the 70s and 80s
Guest Co-Curator: Christopher Tradowsky
OCTOBER 26 – DECEMBER 9, 2012
Tuesday, November 6, noon, in Flaten Art Museum, Center for Art and Dance:
Christopher Tradowsky, guest curator of the exhibit, “Andy Warhol and His Contemporaries: an urban milieu – NY in the ’70s, ’80s and today” will talk about the exhibit.
In 2008, the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program gifted several of his Polaroids and black & white photographs to Flaten Art Museum and 79 other such institutions across the country. Prof. Tradowsky is creating a show featuring photographs that reflect an urban milieu–that milieu being New York in the 70s and 80s. He is particularly interested in the way the photographs rather unselfconsciously reflect both Warhol’s Factory friends and colleagues and the celebrities he admired. Included in the exhibit will also be photographs borrowed from the Minneapolis Institute of Arts; the Trout Gallery at Dickinson College; Amy Elkins, photographer, and the Richard Yancey Gallery; and the Warhol Museum.
