Fashion and Film The Warhol Look: Glamour, Style, Fashion

Whitney Museum of American Art
99 Gansevoort Street
November 5, 1997–January 8, 1998

A good deal has been written lately about the liaison between art and fashion; these two shows follow the course of that connection. Organized by Mark Francis and Margery King of the Andy Warhol Museum, “The Warhol Look” features more than 500 paintings, drawings, and re-creations of Warhol’s window displays, contextualized through the work of forty artists, photographers, and designers, including Richard Avedon, the late Gianni Versace, and Stephen Meisel. For “Fashion and Film,” assistant curator Matthew Yokobosky has brought together fifty-plus films and videos ranging from early newsreels to documentaries about the most recent generation of auteur designers.
