The Andy Warhol exhibit at the University of Denver's Myhren Gallery is a lot of fun. It is wonderful to see all those Warhol graphics and prints of Campbell Soup cans, Chairman Mao, and all those other iconic images. The theme of the show is Warhol in Colorado, and features photographs of Warhol and photographs Warhol took in Fort Collins, Aspen, and other Colorado locations. Warhol was a great pop artist, and I love his work, but I was less than impressed with his photographs. The exhibit is a great record of Warhol's time in Colorado - I personally never knew he even set foot in the state - but the photographs he took - and the photographs taken of him - are less than stellar. Still, it is great to see some of his more famous works on exhibit at the University of Denver. Chairman Mao has never looked better.
