“People who claim Andy Warhol was a sell-out are absolutely right. Business Art was one of his most important and influential artforms. And from the very beginning, the dollar bill was one of Andy Warhol’s favourite motifs”
- Blake Gopnik, curator of Money on the Wall.
Spritmuseum’s new exhibition Money on the Wall: Andy Warhol, opening October 18th, puts one of Andy Warhol’s most important and influential artforms on display; what Warhol himself called Business Art – “the step that comes after art”.
Blake Gopnik, born in 1963, is an American art historian, writer and critic based in New York. He is one of the world’s leading Andy Warhol experts and has written the comprehensive biography Warhol – A Life as Art. Based on years of archival research and interviews with hundreds of Warhol’s friends, lovers and enemies, the book traces the birth of Warhol’s innovations, and how they shaped how artists have thought and worked from his day to our own.
Exhibition period: 2024.10.18 - 2025.04.27
