Major Andy Warhol Retrospective to Tour US Museums
The Whitney Museum of American Art will host 'Andy Warhol—From A to B and Back Again,' the largest Warhol retrospective in the US since the 1989 MoMA show. Curated by Donna De Salvo, the exhibition spans 40 years of Warhol's career with 350 works, focusing on the 1970s and 1980s. After its New York run (November 12, 2018 – March 31, 2019), it will travel to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Art Institute of Chicago.
