http://www.mediasphere.com.tw/andy-warhol/index.htm




Pop-art pope artist meets traditional historical venue in Taipei.

The exhibition holds at National Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial hall (中正記念堂). Andy Warhol’s sketches, paintings, silk-screen print on shirts and photographic displayed, sorted chronologically with Warhol’s works. A large size presentation board showing Warhol’s timeline right in middle of exhibition hall, this particularly interesting arrangement was to guide the attendee to the renounced artist comprehensive life. Not just focus to his signature art works.

The entire guided tour takes about 45 minutes, described Andy Warhol’s life dedication to the art. Unlike the other exhibition I attend in the past, the Taiwanese attendee gives active feedback. The interaction between tour and each attendee is more or less like a focus group discussion, create an excellent atmosphere.
