NEW YORK.- The Forbes Galleries presents the exhibit Andy Warhol and The Corporate World. In his book, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to B and Back Again), Warhol wrote that Business art is the step that comes after Art. I started as a commercial artist, and I want to finish as a business artist. Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art.
From his early success in the commercial art world of the 1950s through the end of his life, Warhol continually re-configured the boundaries that separate the worlds of business and art. Drawing from the permanent collection of The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, this exhibition examines Warhols evolving relationship with the corporate world and looks at how the images and strategies of business were incorporated and exploited in his work. The show includes examples of his commercial work from the 1950s, his well-known Pop works from the 1960s, commissioned portraits of corporate titans from the 1970s and 80s, as well as the Ads series of the 1980s. One of his most brilliant comments on the blurred lines between art and business are his Dollar Sign paintings of the early 1908s. On view will be a Dollar Sign painting, the quintessential symbol of capitalism, inscribed by Warhol to Malcolm Forbes and presented to him on the occasion of the opening of the magazines galleries in 1985. The exhibition will be supplemented with related ephemera from the museums archives which supports the theme of Warhols works as business art.
