The Brooks exhibit has lots of great images. Warhol is pretty well known, though the iconic status of some subjects might have lost a little with time.... Is Ingrid Bergman still an icon in 21st century America? Probably not. Joseph Beuys? Definitely not. So some context will be in order.

Pen to paper...
Rising and shining bright and early. Today: begin work on text for upcoming Warhol exhibition. Yesterday the Brooks Museum in Memphis sent over some of their copy. Pittsburgh's Andy Warhol Museum, where the show originated from, did not include textual materials, so the explanatory stuff is up to us. Plus the additional Pittsburgh pieces coming to us are apparently text free. More fun for me.

Woody Guthrie wrote a song about Ingrid Bergman... but I blush at the idea of typing out the lyrics! Let's just say, she was an icon to him...
