Andy Warhol Silver Clouds & Cow Wallpaper
Silver Clouds is a special interactive installation on loan from the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. The exhibition consists of a roomful of floating pillow-shaped balloons, inflated with a proprietary mixture of air and pure helium, enabling them to float enchantingly in the space. The installation will be enhanced by Warhol’s Cow Wallpaper, the first in the artist's series of designs, which were never made commercially available.
-

This exhibition showcases over 30 images from a variety of media, most of which were gifts to the Museum. Highlights include portraits by John Singer Sargent and Burton Silverman, landscapes by Marsden Hartley and Frederick Hammersley, and figure studies by Benny Andrews and William Beckman.
