Description
In a newly-conceived series, prominent personalities speak about their favorite pieces. To begin with, the author and movie journalist Katja Eichinger will talk about Andy Warhol’s “Oxidation Painting” (1978). Abstract painting and an ironic take on the idea of expressive relinquishment are combined in these late works by Warhol, also known as “Piss Paintings,” for which he covered the canvas in copper pigment and oxidized it with urine. It is said that Warhol, when asked by two old ladies how it was made, could not bring himself to tell the truth. The myth of the pop icon, and a work that suggests a multitude of approaches and cross-media references, form the basis for the discussion between Katja Eichinger and Patrizia Dander, curator of the anniversary exhibition.
