The popularity of Andy Warhol will probably mean that many people will flock to Dulwich to see their latest exhibition. And this is exactly what I did on Tuesday morning. Sean, my trusty sat nav, took me round the North Circular and through the Rotherhithe Tunnel and soon as I was outside the gallery ready to have a coffee and a quick sunbathing session in the gardens of the Dulwich Picture Gallery.
Warhol is renowned for turning himself into a brand and he is one of the most recognisable and important figures in recent art history. His iconic prints of Marilyn Monroe and Campbell’s soup in particular will never leave our visual vocabulary. Andy Warhol: The Portfolios focuses on the period from 1962-84 when he worked almost exclusively with silkscreen printing. Using a method more commonly practised in commercial reproduction, Warhol transformed famous faces and still lives into fine art using multiple colour combinations (that required separate screens). Warhol was a master at this technique and although he set up a factory-like system where he was rarely present to pull the screens himself, he selected the colours, the design and the form, and chose which prints were to be published. The quality of these prints is of the highest standard, the colours are dazzling and the finish is exemplary.
