Description: With the backdrop of 1950s New York and its burgeoning advertising industry, "Adman" focuses on the formative years of one of the 20th century's most influential artists, Andy Warhol. More than 150 illustrations including rare drawings and photographs, vintage advertisements, artist books, photographs and archival material and essays by Warhol scholars provide surprising insights into the beginning of Warhol's career, from his award-winning work as a commercial illustrator through to his first, little-known exhibitions. Exhibition: Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia (25.02-28.05.2017).
Notes: Published on the occasion of an exhibition held at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, February 28-May 28, 2017 and at the Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, February-May 2018.
