PITTSBURGH---This is probably the touchstone piece in the important show called “Andy Warhol: My Perfect Body” that opened Friday at the
Warhol museum in Pittsburgh. Incredibly, it is the first exhibition to bring
Warhol into contact with the corporeal issues that have been hot in the art of the last several decades. Warhol comes off, as he should, as the first of the great postmoderns. Today’s Pic is part of the
Last Supper series that
Warhol worked on in 1986, only months before his unexpected death. The painting in today’s Pic, for instance, was actually executed with glow-in-the-dark paint. [
