Yokoo’s first met Warhol in 1967. In a dimly-lit room in the artist’s studio, known as the Factory, Yokoo watched as the sunglasses-clad artist made his work, and then presented Warhol with a book of his own works. Several years later, Yokoo visited Warhol in his new office and bought two of the artist’s portraits of Mick Jagger from him. In this exhibit, we present four of Warhol’s works, which adorned the walls of Yokoo’s house, along with 57 of the 60 works in a series called A.W. Mandala, based on a Warhol motif, which Yokoo gifted to the museum in 2023. [Dates] |
