The Hayward Gallery in London is now presenting Andy Warhol: Other Voices, Other Rooms. The exhibit is a retrospective of Warhol’s work. Fans of Warhol may recall that the Hayward Gallery held an exhibit titled Andy Warhol: A Retrospective in 1989. This Andy Warhol Retrospective will most likely surpass the impact that the previous retrospective at the gallery had nearly twenty years ago.

Other Voices, Other Rooms has been on tour since last October at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam followed by Moderna Museet in Stockholm. The exhibit explores Warhol’s film and video work as a starting point for understanding the artist’s core subjects involving high and low culture. The retrospective at Hayward Gallery comes to a close on January 18th.

Warhol's Skulls Series will Spearhead Sotheby's October Contemporary Art Sale

Sotheby's will follow its record-breaking series of Contemporary Art sales in recent years with its October Contemporary Art sale. The event is scheduled to coincide with the Frieze Art Fair. The sale opens on the 20th of October and will include a selection of Andy Warhol’s iconic Skulls series (est. £5,000,000-£7,000,000). The Skulls series is known for its striking commentary on death and mortality. Sotheby’s senior international specialist Oliver Barker said, “The optimism and vitality of the colours only serve to underline the transience of life pitted against the omnipotence of death. Warhol’s point – ever concise and brilliantly pithy – is that even death, the nemesis of humankind, becomes mere lurid mundanity when perceived through repetition and familiarity.”
