Now open at Foundry in Downtown Dubai, new art exhibition Andy Warhol: The Glam Factory will add a splash of colour to Dubai. Celebrating the iconic career of the King of Pop Art, this retro-styled art experience transports you to the heyday of Warhol’s career, and brings to life the environments which inspired him. If all you know of Warhol is soup cans and Marilyn Monroe, this exhibition will help you better explore the incredible impact he had upon modern art. Tickets to the exhibition are still available, and you can find yours here.
The exhibition will show key works from Andy Warhol’s career, produced between 1954 and 1987, and many of which have become icons in their own right. To help illustrate the art scene that fed Warhol’s boundless creativity, the exhibition will include several retro-influenced rooms from the artist’s past. Chief amongst this is an interactive replica of the Studio 54 nightclub, where Warhol was often spotted mixing and mingling with celebrities, models, and fashion designers throughout the 1970s.
Warhol’s eclectic and electric style comes to life at The Glam Factory, which tracks how his signature style evolved across, and was shaped by, the changing times of the 20th century. Nearly 40 years after his death, Warhol continues to inspire artists, filmmakers, and creatives, providing an influence that’s still highly visible in modern art. Andy Warhol: The Glam Factory connects you to this rich and colourful artistic tradition, for an art experience you won’t soon forget.
Tickets are available now, starting from AED80 for weekday visits, and AED100 for weekend passes. Andy Warhol: The Glam Factory will be in residence at Foundry in Downtown Dubai until November 3, 2024, and is open from 10am to 10pm every day, with the last entry at 9pm. We’re expecting it to be a popular one, so you’ll want to grab your tickets soon to immerse yourself in the world of Pop Art!
