Posted by Tim / July 8, 2006

Today marks the opening of the AGO's Andy Warhol exhibit. From the AGO's web site:

Guest-curated exclusively for the AGO by film director David Cronenberg, Andy Warhol / Supernova: Stars, Deaths and Disasters, 1962-1964 focuses on one of the most influential periods in the artist's life. Combining both paintings and films, the exhibition features not only well-known serial images of Jackie Kennedy, Elvis Presley and Elizabeth Taylor, but also disturbing disaster imagery that includes car crashes, criminals and electric chairs. The AGO is the only venue that combines Warhol's rarely seen underground films with his painted works.

Tickets are $18 but the AGO is giving away some for free to anyone who spots a pink and black Andy Warhol hearse they're driving around town.

I've seen this car several times on Queen in the past few days, I had no idea I could get free tickets from it though. Are we supposed to run after it yelling for tickets?

I'd like to see this exhibit!

I remember hearing Thomas Sokolowski the curator of the Warhol museum in Pittsburgh talk at the Power Plant before the last Warhol Fashion show at the AGO! Very Inspiring!

;))

I saw this as well, but didn't know how to go about getting the free tickets. What do I do now? I have to see this show before it's gone!
