The University Gallery is honored to host a guest lecture by artist Tom Friedman, whose work is currently on display at the Gallery as part of the exhibition Connecting the Dots. . . . The Warhol Legacy. Friedman will be addressing his recent works, particularly those that are on display in the exhibition, and their relationship with Andy Warhol, among a variety of other subjects, and concluding with a question-and-answer session. Friedman’s style, which often involves incredibly meticulous, thoughtful deconstruction and reconstruction of common consumer goods, owes much to Warhol’s work. Friedman’s Untitled (Dollar Bill) is a clever, visually stimulating update of Warhol’s 200 Dollar Bills. This lecture is an exciting opportunity to enter the mind of one of today’s most fascinating and creative artists, a place where humor, philosophy and wonder coalesce.

The talk begins at 5:30pm in the University Gallery. A discussion will follow. Light refreshments will be available.
