The AGO reopens with a blockbuster Andy Warhol exhibit that spans four decades of the Pop Art icon’s career. A collaboration between the AGO, London’s Tate Modern and the Dallas Museum of Art, the collection includes early drawings, experimental films and famous imagery of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis and Campbell’s soup. The art explores personal and political themes, particularly showcasing Warhol’s identity as a gay man, and draws inspiration from underground movements. On display until the fall, this exhibit requires timed entry tickets.
