| In Conversation: The Nature of Celebrity |
Presented by Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA) at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA)
September 12, 2010
When Andy Warhol declared that "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes," he not just forecast the coming of a digital age but offered commentary on his own working practice of capturing and mass producing the dazzling personalities that he encountered. Join PAFA Curators Julien Robson, Bob Cozzolino and Anna Marley for a talk about the changing nature of capturing celebrity in art, including Thomas Sully's early portrait of the nineteenth century actress Fanny Kemble, Florine Stettheimer's 1918 depiction of a dreamy afternoon picnic with Marcel Duchamp, and of course, Andy Warhol himself and his polaroid snapshots currently on view in PAFA's galleries.
