Transmitting Andy Warhol

We jumped into the college mini bus today and headed off to Liverpool, we planned to visit The Tate to see Andy Warhol's exhibition and The Open Eye.

It was Warhol’s belief that ‘art should be for everyone’. Transmitting is a large collection of his work in a range of media incuding screen prints, drawings, paintings and film. As he was such a leading figure in the pop art movement I was keen to see his work in particular the iconic Marilyn Monroe and Campbells Soup screen prints.

The current exhibition in the The Open Eye is "Metamorphosis of Japan After the War" this is a collection of black and white photographs by post-war Japanese photographers, the exhibition is divided into three sections – “The Aftermath of the War,” “Between Tradition and Modernity,” and “Towards a New Japan.”
