The exhibition is free to members and $5 for nonmembers.
Warhol! Warhol! Warhol! (Spencer Gallery) brings over twenty pieces of rarely seen original Andy Warhol art on loan from Beth Rudin DeWoody and Marshall Fields’s private collections. Andy Warhol, arguably the most famous artist in the last 100 years was an artist, director, and producer who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. The exhibition gives locals and visitors the opportunity to view this iconic artist’s work in person. Although the original Warhol pieces will not be for sale, the other “Pop Art Inspired” work on exhibit in the Shorr Gallery will be available for purchase.
Ray Gross Pop Art Sculpture (Shorr Gallery) is a homage to Warhol’s Pop Art and includes a life-sized Harley-Davidson made of porcelain. Ray Gross is a celebrated ceramist who is known for his hand-built, hand-painted, hyper-realistic porcelain sculptures. His art depicts 3D items of everyday Americana, including utilitarian art objects such as paint cans, tubes, brushes, pencils, and other artist tools that have seized the attention of collectors, and have been installed in public and corporate spaces.
Also on display is a juried Pop Art Jewelry Show & Sale featuring over sixty one-of-a-kind Warhol-inspired necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets, and broaches created by artists from across the country.
James Thurman’s Paper Alchemy show includes over thirty contemporary pieces of jewelry and sculptural objects by talented national and international artists. Paper Alchemy is a traveling exhibition of artwork that utilizes Thurman’s invention of handcrafted material created entirely of layered recycled paper and eco-resin, Thurmanite.
A mini version of Ethical Metalsmith’s Radical Jewelry Makeover, features upcycled or broken jewelry that has been re-purposed and designed into unique “new” pieces of jewelry.
