The name
Andy Warhol and the word religion rarely come up in the same conversation, but that’s about to change with the debut Sunday of the exhibition “Andy Warhol: Revelation” at the North Side
museum that bears his name.
An extensive look at the personal side of the celebrated Pop artist shows a man who remained under the influence of his Carpatho-Rusyn upbringing and Byzantine Catholic heritage throughout his life. The exhibition is essentially a retrospective of his spiritual expression, from a plaster statue of Jesus that he painted between ages 10 and 13 to his extensive “The Last Supper” series completed in 1986, the year before his death in February 1987.
