Warhol exhibit


So it is now Sunday in Calgary. When I was in Montreal yesterday I met up with an old high school friend, Sue Simatos, and we went to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and saw an exhibit on Warhol and music. It was really good. He designed the covers of 50 albums, including some really early ink sketches and then did the Sticky Fingers cover for the Stones. Good exhibits on The Velvet Underground and the Stones and the psychedelic era. Warhol was a very prolific and iconic artist and could capture an image with a few strokes of a pencil but it's his silkscreens that most people know.
