Exhibition History

Exhibition History

The Phantom of Liberty

May 4 - December 30, 2018

We went to see Dr. No at Forty-Second Street. It’s a fantastic movie, so cool. We walked outside and somebody threw a cherry bomb right in front of us, in this big crowd. And there was blood. I saw blood on people and all over. I felt like I was bleeding all over. I saw it in the paper last week that there are more people throwing them—it’s just part of the scene—and hurting people.

My show in Paris is going to be called Death in America. I’ll show the electric-chair pictures and the dogs in Birmingham and car wrecks and some suicide pictures.
–Andy Warhol
