Le Grand Monde d'Andy Warhol, Paris

 At the Grand Palais, until July 13th, the retrospective is a selection from the thousand  portraits that Andy Warhol painted from 1960s onwards.

The show is presented by themes focusing on the key points in Warhol’s work,many of these paintings have become “icons” and they have never been shown in a single-artist exhibition before. With the aim of recreating the effect of the principle of repetition which Warhol had in mind when he painted them, the Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais is presenting, for the first time, this large set of paintings which constitutes an unprecedented archive in the history of painting and photography.
"All my portraits have to be the same size, so they’ll all fit together and make one big painting called Portraits of Society. That’s a good idea, isn’t it? Maybe The Metropolitan Museum would want it someday.”Andy stated.

The show was sponsored by LVMH

 Bernard Arnault  with Karl Lagerfeld.
