Andy Warhol always stood out from the crowd, so it’s only fitting that a new exhibition coming to Dubai soon will stand out from the rest of the city’s art exhibitions. Andy Warhol: The Glam Factory is a new exhibition set to arrive at Foundry in Downtown Dubai on September 16, 2024. It’s a golden chance to explore the work of a 20th century genius who defined a new style of art, and we’re already planning our visit. Tickets to the exhibition are going on sale at 12pm on July 17, but to be the first to get your hands on them, you’ll want to join the waitlist today.
From his instantly-identifiable soup cans to his iconic portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol’s creations have filled galleries all over the world, and his posters have adorned countless bedrooms. The impact Warhol had on the 20th century art scene is hard to understate, and this exhibition offers an informative window into his creative process that art lovers and novices alike will appreciate. Andy Warhol: The Glam Factory showcases works created between 1957 and 1987, and you’ll be dazzled by Warhol’s bold designs and striking use of colour.
The exhibition will unfold across a series of on-brand rooms, decorated with electrifying colours and retro touches that evoke the art scene through which Warhol moved. There’s even an interactive Studio 54 room, which brings to life the legendary nightclub that Warhol was a frequent guest at, and transports you to the glitz and glamour of 70s New York. The fabulous retro style of the exhibition aims to further immerse you in Warhol’s world, making it one of the most unique art exhibitions to arrive in Dubai this year.
Tickets to the exhibition will be on sale from 12pm on July 17, with an exclusive presale the day before for those who join the waitlist. Andy Warhol: The Glam Factory will open on September 16, 2024 until October 31, 2024, so we expect tickets to sell out quickly. For anyone with even a passing interest in Andy Warhol or his art, this is one Dubai exhibition you won’t want to miss!
