WARHOL: THE TEXTILES - 26 JANUARY - 1 JUNE 2024
Venue: Dovecot Studios , 10 Infirmary Street Edinburgh EH1 1LT
Time: Mon-Sat: 10am-5pm
Dovecot Studios will showcase the first exhibition in Scotland exclusively dedicated to the commercial textile designs of pop artist and icon Andy Warhol.
Leading figure of the Pop Art movement, Andy Warhol’s career began in commercial and advertising art during the 1950s and early 1960s. The exhibition will take visitors on a journey through the unknown and unrecorded world of designs by the influential artist before his Silver Factory days. Showcasing over 35 of Warhol’s textile patterns from the period, this exhibition demonstrates how textile and fashion design was a crucial stage in Warhol becoming one of the most iconic artists of the twentieth century.
