“Andy Warhol – Vanitas” in the Schunck Museum in Heerlen 2024

What is a vergänglichkeit as a theme from the Ausstellung? The showrooms in the ehemalige Kaufhauses that were a Vorgeschmack at that time were the Besucher in the Glass Palace: The Image of Marilyn Monroe with a golden tape, flanked by large-format Black White Portraits by Andy Warhol with whiter Glasses and brighter Frisur , the American pop art artwork puts a ton on the blame. Schräg, aber auch irgendwie witzig.

Boots and Corsets

The mass with the cheerful pop art and the melancholic interpretation see themselves as roter by the Australian ‘Vanitas’, at the round 120 of Andy Warhol and the personal development that took place in 1987. So lie in the first white display case with white-blond hair, together with the hair care boxes, in the next a row of maßgefertigten corsetts. The journey of 1928 in Pittsburgh was born when Sohn had a dream about his life on June 3, 1968 and a Milz, Bauch, Leber and Speiseröhre verletzt wurde.

“Körperlichkeit and Außenwirkung play an immense role at Warhol,” said Fabian de Kloe. There is an artistic Leiter des Heerlener Schunck-Museums voor Ausstellungen zu zeitgenössische Kunst and Architektur responsible. So there could be grateful connections to the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver with beachtliche Ausstellungen zu Basquiat (‘The artist and his New York scene’ 2019) and Keith Haring (‘Grace House Mural’ 2022) realized and damned the Schunck Museum on International Art -Positioning the map.

Now also Andy Warhol: In cooperation with the Andy Warhol Museum Pittsburgh, the large collection of artworks and archive material that are preserved, were presented for the Monthly Siebdrucke and Zeichnungen, about film and a zhlreiche personal approach to Warhol in the Untergeschoss des Schunck-Museums, accompanied by a publication in the gold-colored Einband. In an exhibition area hangs a Self-portrait in front of a gold background, on the Warhol with masking disfigured Miene and geradezu exploded Frisur being a theme of the series “Reversal” which describes the portraits of actress Marilyn Monroe, at the Warhol in Negati, vtechnik arbeitete and the motivation to reproduce new combinations.

Andy Warhol has waged a war with an introvert, introverted and opaque person, who can not use his homosexuality, his war religions and hate a narrow bond with his mumbling. With the touching and the dunking of the style of the Sonnenbrille it is an icon of New York art, which after the attention draws to a vogue Kauf- and Sammelwut, which is in the work and in the private sector.

I followed the Raabschnitt with the offensive motto: Vanitas-Stillleben from 17. Jahrhundert, een Totenkopfbild by Jacques de Claeuw from 1650, hangen gegenüber von verschiedenen Totenkopf-Zeichnungen Warhols. In a showcase documentation of the Fahrkarten, Kataloge and an Eintrittskarte of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, by Warhol 1956, the Weltreise das Museum was challenged and of the Alten Meistern and the subtle religious questions Verganglichkeitsthematik ihrer Werk were inspired.

Gerhard Richter’s “Hidden Treasures”

After Warhol bought a skull at a Paris flea market, it quickly became manic Manner damit – there is photography, doodles, malte and printed Skull motifs. When the “Skull” series is shown, the paper becomes increasingly thicker with the series with the typical features of the print, the work that is serious, is a heather relentless verlehen.

The collection and archive of the Warhol museums are together with Amber Morgan and his colleague Patrick Moore, the extremely responsible director of the museums, working with the Australian team in Heerlen in the department of Conception and Dismantling. “I can’t say that artwork with the Totenschädel is in the collection, it’s Hunderte”, said the collection manager. Patrick Moore denies that they both relied on “Philip’s Skull”, for the Warhol 1985 computer tomography scans of the skulls that were used long ago by the friends Philip Niarchos, one of the international jet set. The CT images stand for the tradition of Memento-Mori-Malerei as well as for the eitelkeitporträts of the High Society. “If skulls portray welding, it is certainly unusual, but also for a certain humor. The Ausstellung is a trotz of the vergänglichkeitsthemas fröhlich and lifebejahend,” said Moore.

Fabian de Kloe verweit one of the raums in a blink of an eye, where he can go to: Dort with “The Last Supper” presents a refined work of art, that a black light is a secret, more not betray. Another way to look at the glitter pictures, is that Warhol gives the Treasures a mannig mannig with vermeintlichem Diamantstaub (in the representation of the Glasstaub-ways of the besseren Reflexion).

Neben of the section with film material, from 1964 in 16 mm format tight experimental film “Blowjob”, with a beach effect of the “Time Capsules”: from 1974 to his last 1987 with Andy Warhol with 600 cards with objects, which there is in the river, is Life collected had. These time capsules, the heart piece of the more than 300,000 individual objects surrounding the Warhol Museum’s archive collection, were his great serial work of art. The separation, one of the most important objects with great transient characters – from newspapers and postcards to their cosmetic articles, which were not for the best quality -, in the Vanitas-Ausstellung broadcasts, illuminates a more fragile Warhol’s self-esteem and his concern for the outside world. For the controller one of the best physical images – an attractive and appealing – war is an indisputable means with her hair, the corsets or cosmetic products are offered.

For De Kloe it is a shame that the Warhol Exhibition in Heerlen no longer saw the immigration service, the structural walk and the religious practice as Warhol’s life, which has a significant meaning for Heerlen and the region.
