The exhibition “Andy Warhol” is coming to Kragujevac
In the Art Gallery of the National Museum in Kragujevac, on June 16, the exhibition “Andy Warhol” will be opened as part of the accompanying program of the Arsenal Fest.
The opening of the exhibition will be at 5:30 PM and it will last until July 1.
Visitors will be able to see 40 well-chosen prints by Lazar Vujic, one of the most prominent European gallerists.
Vujic met Warhol while working on graphic designs for the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo in 1984. Among the graphic solutions, he wanted to include Warhol’s work.
“He was kind, calm, a great artist, a man who showed respect to every interlocutor. Warhol’s original idea for the Olympics was a ski jumper, but I preferred a skater and in the end, we decided on that motif,” Vujic said in one of the interviews.
