ASPEN, CO.- The Aspen Art Museum announced the launch of a new, free digital guide for both in-person and online visitors on the Bloomberg Connects cultural app, created by Bloomberg Philanthropies. The launch coincides with AAM’s current exhibition, the international retrospective Andy Warhol: Lifetimes, which opened in December 2021.

The AAM guide provides a rich audio supplement to Lifetimes, including clips of artist and exhibition curator Monica Majoli and AAM assistant curator Simone Krug as they explore highlights of the exhibition, including:

• Warhol in his youth becoming an artist

• Warhol’s queer identity in painting the drag queen and as an openly gay man

• Focus on key works in the exhibition such as the Oxidation Paintings, the Ladies and Gentlemen series, Clouds, and complementary ephemeral elements throughout

• Understanding Warhol’s films and their structure

• The camera and recorder as devices Warhol used as a buffer and to control his reality

• Warhol’s portrait-making later in life

• The important role Warhol’s New York Factory played in the artist’s practice

Beyond Lifetimes, the guide includes general information for visitors and various amenities; a feature on the Museum’s Shigeru Ban-designed building; and rich descriptions and imagery for all AAM exhibitions, including Precious Okoyomon’s ongoing rooftop intervention and garden Every Earthly Morning the Sky’s Light touches Ur Life is Unprecedented in its Beauty with a video feature, Adam Stamp’s The Slippery Slope sculptural bar installation, and Jonathan Berger’s THE STORE.
