This 1967 screenprint is featured in Andy Warhol: A Day in the Life, now on display at the Eli and Edythe Broad Museum (or MSU Broad) at Michigan State University, East Lansing, until May 6.
“Andy Warhol: A Day in the Life pulls back the veil on one of the twentieth century’s most important and iconographic artists. As with many artists and popular figures, Warhol’s public persona and identity were tightly controlled—a brand in and of itself. Warhol once said: ’If you want to know Andy Warhol, just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There’s nothing behind it.’But the passage of time and accounts from those close to him reveal a different story. In particular, through his daily photographic habits, obsessive film and audio recording, and his interest in a wide range of subject matters, we are able to glimpse aspects of his more intimate world, offering a unique perspective on one of America’s most famous artists.”
