The American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF) presents MUNCH | WARHOL and the Multiple Image, an exhibition featuring two of the 20th century’s most prolific and inventive printmakers. Curated by Dr. Patricia Berman and Pari Stave, the exhibition will be on view April 27 through July 27, 2013 at Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America.
Norwegian Edvard Munch and American Andy Warhol. Organized in honor of the 150th anniversary of Munch’s birth in 1863, the exhibition closely examines four graphic motifs produced by Munch at the turn of the century — The Scream, Madonna, The Brooch. Eva Mudocci, and Self-Portrait with Skeleton Arm — and later revisited by Andy Warhol in a little-known, but extraordinary, series of prints from 1984. Comprising over 30 original works from private and museum collections — some of which will be seen for the first time — the exhibition reveals remarkable affinities between the two artists.
