I thought this was really, really cool. I am kind of fascinated by Andy Warhol, and I wish I could go to this exhibit.
Washington (CNN) – One hundred and two canvases all with similar composition but different colors hung edge-to-edge make up the totality of Andy Warhol’s painting called “Shadows” currently on display at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington.
This marks the first time all of the canvases, which were completed over thirty years ago, have been displayed together as Warhol intended. There aren’t many museums with enough unbroken wall space to hold the entire piece.
The canvases, each measuring four by six feet are hung edge-to-edge as the artist intended covering a continuous 451 linear feet on the gallery wall making it longer than a football field.
“These galleries are just curved enough to give you flow, or push our visitors through the space,” said Associate Curator Evelyn Hankins. “There’s this kind of beautiful dialogue or conversation between the art and the architecture.”
This is awesome, it’s as long as a whole football field. I saw this on CNN, so you can read the rest of that here.
