Curator’s Talk: Andy Warhol and the Paradox of Persona
Join Franklin Hill Perrell, NCMA’s Chief Curator, for an engaging discussion of Andy Warhol, exploring the man behind the public persona of the Prince of Pop. Through his iconic portraits, the Factory studio, silkscreen techniques, films, Interview magazine, and personal interests—from Campbell’s Soup cans to cookie jar collecting—the lecture examines Warhol’s remarkable artistic career and complex personality. Though closely associated with the glamour of New York’s Studio 54 era, Warhol led a surprisingly private life, marked by devotion to his mother, acts of charity, and a personal commitment to faith. The discussion explores the contradictions between his public image and private convictions, revealing a lesser-known side of an artist whose work captured the defining triumphs and tragedies of his time.
