Andy Warhol: Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century
Opening on November 14, Lévy Gorvy Dayan will exhibit a rare and complete group of ten unique collages belonging to Andy Warhol’s series Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century (1980). On view on the fifth floor of the gallery’s Beaux-Arts townhouse at 19 East 64th Street, the vibrant and multifaceted works are demonstrative examples of the artist’s physical process and his compositional method. Arrayed together, the total body of ten collages provides a potent counter to Warhol’s famous remark of 1963—“I want to be a machine”—revealing insights into his haptic and experimental artmaking, and the decisive evolution of his renowned Pop portraits.
