Where to see art by Andy Warhol

[kmajewski]

Andy Warhol was an American artist and leader in the pop art movement who was known for his silkscreens and the wild antics that went on in his studio, The Factory. His work addressed celebrity culture and advertising, and many of his creations are among the most expensive pieces of art ever sold.

Warhol would have turned 90 today, so in honor of his birthday, here are six great places to see his masterpieces around the globe according to your fellow Local Guides.

1. Andy Warhol Museum of Modern Art (Medzilaborce, Slovakia)

According to the museum’s website, Andy Warhol’s brother and local artists founded this colorful museum in the small town of Mezilaborce, Slovakia.

Local Guides say:

“Interesting place in the city, where parents of Andy Warhol were born.” - Local Guide Jiri Rydl

2. The Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)

Located in Warhol’s hometown, this museum is the largest in North America dedicated to a single artist. Its 17 galleries showcase thousands of works of art by Warhol.

Local Guides say:

“Excellent exhibition of Warhol’s work. The modern design of this museum is really something to behold. The museum has 7 levels and each level represent each decade of Warhol’s amazing accomplishments and artwork.” - Local Guide Allen

3. The Museum of Modern Art (New York City, New York)

One of the largest museums in the world, MoMA’s massive collection includes quite a few Warhols. Check the museum’s website to see what’s currently on view.

Local Guides say:

“Amazing museum to see great artists such as Andy Warhol, Picasso, Monet among others.” - Local Guide Beatriz Rodrigues

4. San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (San Francisco, California)

SF MoMA’s collection of over 33,000 works includes more than two dozen Warhols. Check their website to see what’s currently on display.

Local Guides say:

“A great collection in a great building. I particularly loved the old 1963 Andy Warhol silk screens.” - Local Guide Gordon Reece

5. Municipal Museum of Contemporary Art (Gent, Belgium)

Abbreviated S.M.A.K, this Belgian museum’s permanent collection features some impressive Warhols, including “Marilyn Monroe,” alongside other contemporary masters.

Local Guides say:

“Cool museum with nice exhibits. Spacy rooms gives the art pieces the respect they deserves, and the viewer possibilities to really appreciate the dimensional values of the works and comprehend the ideas behind them.” - Local Guide Ragnar Granfeldt

6. Moderna Museet (Stockholm, Sweden)

This gem in Stockholm houses Warhol works like a purple "Ten-Foot Flowers,” "Electric Chair,” and “Dance Diagram.”

Local Guides say:

“Beautiful museum, a must see. The permanent exhibitions are free. You can see many works of Marcel Duchamp, Fernand Léger, Picasso, Andy Warhol.” - Local Guide Christophe Mertz

@kmajewski , to be honest:

I‘m handicapped in understanding art. I didn’t learn how interesting and nice art could be.

When visiting a museum of art, I feel like a dyslexia visiting a library…

The point is, that I didn’t understood this, before I visited in Munich the:

Alte Pinakothek

(Must visit in Munich!!!)

Now I do at least know that I have this handicap, but for humans (so for me for sure) it is often difficult to understand and accept they have a deficit…

I prefer other kind of museums than art, but not because are for sure better, but I have the „skill“ to understand some of them.

Hola @KarenVChin , gracias por el tag, en general cuando estoy en una ciudad nueva los museos históricos y de arte moderno son mi debilidad, me gusta visitarlos para ver tanto el arte de los autores modernos como los contemporaneos, no por que conozca o tenga una sensibilidad especial al contemplar la obra solo porque me gustan…

Algunos de los museos que me gustaron son el Museo de Bellas artes de Buenos Aires.

Otro al que concurría mucho de adolescente es el museo de arte de Tucumán

u otro como el museo de Antioquia en Colómbia con obras de Botero y otros

y por supuesto mi querido museo Fueguino de Arte en Río Grande del,cual soy muy asiduo,cuando cambian las exposiciones…

y tantos otros otros que no alcanzaría el post para nombrarlos a todos…

Saludos Farid

I love contemporary and pop art

The last weekend I had the opportunity to visit a great place, in Milan, Fondazione Prada; you should visit it when you are around.

Here is my review: https://goo.gl/maps/tSnFW2eZRVz

And some images from the collection (you can find many on my contributions)

Why should I go to Zadar in Croatia and think about @kmajewski ???
