George Washington Museum & Textile Museum Lecture
On ‘Change & Tradition In Soviet Central Asia’ April 28
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A lecture, “Change and Tradition in
Soviet Central Asia,” on Thursday, April 28, at 6 pm, is at the
George Washington University
Museum (GW) and Textile
Museum. Andrew Hale, collector
and curator will discuss the
influence of revolutionary Russia on Central Asia’s textile and
other traditions.
Textiles have been part of Central Asian identity for hundreds
of years, peaking in the Nine-
teenth Century with the production of ikats that featured bold,
original designs and vibrant colors. In the Twentieth Century,
the Soviet Union came to power,
bringing economic change and
modernization to the region.
Hale is an internationally recognized expert in the nomadic
textiles and silk weaving traditions of Central Asia, as well as
the author of numerous articles
and books on Central Asian art.
During his talk, he will pull from
his personal archive of more
than 2,000 photographs documenting this region in the Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries.
The cost is free for museum
members and current GW students, faculty and staff, and $10
for the public. Advance registration is required. Register online
at www.museum.gwu.edu or call
202-994-7394.
The museum is at 701 21st
Street, NW.
‘Warhol Icons’ Show Has More
Than 100 Works On Display
LONDON — On April 18, Halcyon Gallery will
present its very first exhibition devoted entirely
to the works of Andy Warhol. With more than 100
pieces on display, including graphics, portfolios
and original works on paper and canvas, “Warhol
Icons” will be an exploration of the Pop Art icon’s
artistic ingenuity and importance. There will be
a private view on Wednesday, April 20, from 6:30
to 8:30 pm, and the show stays up until May 15.
The exhibition spans Warhol’s career from his
early illustrative works of the 1950s through Pop
Art’s 1960s heyday until his untimely death in
1987, addressing the artist’s exploration of every
facet of modern life, from consumerism and commissions to Communist politics.
Among portraits of iconic figures and celebrity
friends such as screen siren Ingrid Bergman and
champion heavyweight boxer Muhammad Ali,
the exhibition includes an original self-portrait
— “Self Portrait in Fright Wig,” a striking collage
work on paper that celebrates the artist’s enduring legacy and mastery of his brand.
Displayed according to Warhol’s original 1962
brief as to simulate cans stacked along supermarket shelves, the instantly recognizable packaging present in the “Campbell’s Soup I” portfolio
exemplifies Warhol’s fascination with commercial culture, the mainstream and mass production. In the same room, an original “Campbell’s
Soup Box: Chicken Soup” is an interesting development — commissioned following the success of
the former portfolio, the soup boxes further
demonstrate a revolutionary period in art and
culture where the status of everyday consumer
items was elevated.
Along with “Campbell’s Soup I,” the exhibition
features five of Warhol’s most celebrated portfolios of ten, including “Cowboys and Indians” and
“Endangered Species” — the former deriving
from the treasure trove of archival photographs,
postcards and images of Native American artifacts that the artist collected throughout his life,
while the latter is a nod to Warhol’s ongoing
interest in conservation and the environment.
Romare Bearden, “Quilting Time,” sold at $3,840.

The exhibition also features the rarely seen
“Anatom (Rado Watches),” produced just a few
months before his death and one of his last works
ever created. The work is one of only three canvases created by Warhol depicting the Rado
DiaStar “Anatom” watch. Rado Switzerland — a
watch brand renowned for its sleek, luxury timepieces — commissioned the artist to produce the
series of paintings in conjunction with the firm’s
70th anniversary in 1987.
