Who wants the truth? That’s what show business is for – to prove that it’s not what you are that counts, it’s what they think you are. – Andy Warhol
If there’s one thing that I urge you to do over the next few weeks, it’s to visit this incredible collection of paintings and canvases by two of the most influential artists of our time at Gagosian’s Britannia Street Gallery, London.It’s a creative explosion under one roof and you will come face-to-face with the despair of celebrity, political power, glamour, darkness and hope through the work of Andy Warhol and Richard Avedon. A simply incredible collection in size and breadth and spanning work from the 1950s-1990s, this collection shows the importance of the works in challenging norms, morality, popular culture and the very way in which we think and disseminate information.
The best part, it’s free.
