Event Description

In 2007, the Warhol Foundation gifted the University Gallery 150 of Andy Warhol’s rarely-seen photographs and Polaroids. This collection is aimed to inform, inspire and delight a wide range of people with Warhol’s talent for making ordinary things become extraordinary.

Step back into the Sixties - the Warhol Sixties – as we celebrate Warhol, the artist, the legend… and the party! Join us as we honor his legacy that changed the art scene forever.

Proceeds from the evening benefit the University Gallery’s Internship Program and help shape the leaders of tomorrow’s museums. Successful graduates now work in museums and nonprofits around the country, such as the Philadelphia Museum, the Fogg Museum at Harvard, and the International Center of Photography in NYC.

The evening begins at seven in the University Gallery with a martini reception and an exclusive preview of our fall exhibitions: The Minox & The Big Shot: Andy Warhol's Photography (1972-1986) and Connecting the Dots… The Warhol Legacy: Tom Friedman, Ellen Gallagher, Vik Muniz and Rob Pruitt.

Following the preview there will be dinner, drinks, dancing and entertainment in the extravagantly decorated Main Gallery, which will have been transformed into Andy's Loft. Come dressed as your favorite personalities from the era (if you dare). This promises to be an evening you won’t want to miss.

Please call 545-2511 to order your tickets!
