The Andy Warhol Museum presents KAWS + Warhol, the first exhibition to examine the dark themes present in the work of both artists. From skulls to car crashes, both artists deploy their signature bright colours and pop culture references while also presenting the lurid spectacle of death. In response to Warhol, KAWS presents a series of paintings, sculptures and installations which feature the artist’s signature characters and imagery from America’s most loved cereal boxes. A monumental wooden sculpture is also on view in Pop Park, directly across from the museum.
