UPCOMING PUBLIC PROGRAMS AT THE ANDY WARHOL MUSEUM
Pittsburgh, PA, June 3, 2015 —
EXHIBITIONS
Exposures
Through June 28, 2015For the second installment of Exposures, The Warhol presents Pittsburgh-based
artist Cecilia Ebitz’s Good Intentions, an installation inspired by the work and
teachings of artist Corita Kent. With existing work I Wanna be free (2011), and two
new works, Try Trusting it for awhile and Joyous Revolution, Ebitz uses Kent’s
teachings to shape her practice while maintaining her aesthetic. Using a playful
palette bright with the colors of childhood and ordinary objects and materials, Ebitz
reminds the viewer of the beauty and poetry in the everyday. The exhibition’s
accompanying selection of artist-designed objects available in The Warhol Store
feature ceramics by Brooklyn-based Cassie Griffin, lamps by Pittsburgh artist Ron
Copeland, and tin works by Pittsburgh-based Workerbird.
Pearlstein, Warhol, Cantor: From Pittsburgh to New York
Through September 6, 2015
This exhibition explores the work of Philip Pearlstein, Dorothy Cantor, and Andy
Warhol as students in Pittsburgh at Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon
University), and as aspiring artists in New York City. This early period was one of
close association between Warhol and Pearlstein as they were fellow students,
roommates in New York, and eager artists working in commercial illustration.
Cantor, one year behind them in school, was equally looking to pursue her work, but
left her practice when she started a family with Pearlstein. This exhibition is the first
to study this important period for the three artists. The exhibition also features
Pearlstein’s most-recent paintings—a brand new series that has never before been
exhibited.

Upcoming Public Programs at The Andy Warhol Museum —
GLYCERINE and ROSE WATER
Through October 4, 2015The Warhol presents a site-specific artwork by the German/Dutch artist Stefan Hoffmann. Hoffmann uses his process of vertical silkscreen printing to transform the museum’s entrance space windows and doors during the month of June. The sites Hoffmann chooses for his installations span the globe from a contemporary art center in Tokyo, to a neighborhood shop and café in the United Kingdom, to a youth gymnasium in Rankin, PA. He has also worked on projects at museums in Shanghai, Amsterdam, and Quebec City. Like Warhol, Hoffmann appropriates everyday imagery as source material for his work, challenging audiences to critically reflect on our shared visual culture.
