Opening: Fifteen Minutes: Homage to Andy Warhol
art haus SYR

120 Walton St.
Syracuse

There will be an opening reception this afternoon 3:00-5:30 pm.

art haus SYR is proud to present "Fifteen Minutes," an exhibition celebrating the life and legacy of Andy Warhol through silkscreen prints and original audio recordings from a diverse array of artists, writers, and performers who knew, worked with, or were inspired by him. Featured artists include renowned figures such as Patti Smith, Ivan Karp, Billy Name, and Bob Dylan, among others.

This unique exhibition presents each artist's 12 x 12 inch (album-sized) visual works alongside their corresponding audio pieces, creating a dynamic interplay of sound and vision in homage to Warhol's innovative spirit. Highlights include Patti Smith's poignant poem "Edie," reflecting on Warhol Superstar Edie Sedgwick, and Nat Finkelstein's striking screen-printed photograph of Warhol alongside Dylan in the Factory, capturing the essence of their relationship against the backdrop of Warhol's iconic Elvis paintings. Bob Dylan's song "When I Paint My Masterpiece" offers a critique of Warhol's fame and success, further enriching the exploration of Warhol's influence.
