ANDY WARHOL - Late Works @ Gagosian Gallery - 24th Street

There were 2 Andy Warhol openings at Gagosian Gallery tonight - I went to the first show and felt I had enough and did not need to see the second show. In fact, the Gagosian Gallery on W. 24th street was large enough to be a museum and had about 7 or 8 large rooms - all filled with Warhol’s late work.

Here’s some shots from the show - you can click on each to blow them up.

This last painting - the Last Supper - interesting to me in that Andy Warhol mixed in Dove and GE.

Here’s what I think - most of the Andy Warhol “paintings” are “process” and look OK if you don’t ask for anything more than what you see. Warhol is all process - if there’s any strugle - growth - insight - I don’t see it. I just see process. His process would not work for me - but he became his process.

Andy Warhol is more like a geneticist, taking the same thing and varying the arrangement, colors, etc. The work are produced in mass, in fact, the mass production of his work, prints, paintings - it was easy to fill to large galleries - but one was enough for me.

A lot of people were at the opening - some colorfully dressed - all types. I felt between this Andy Warhol show and the show at White Box tonight - I had had seen enought for one night and went home.
