Warhol TV
For Warhol, television was a way
to make anyone famous, and he
often used informal real-time
footage, a prescient version of
today’s “reality TV,” to highlight
both trivial and glamorous
subjects. This exhibition in
MAG’s Media Arts Watch gallery
showcases three of Warhol’s TV
series as well as some of his live
TV appearances, video clips, and
advertisements. More recent
material drawn from YouTube
explores how his tabloid television Wheatpaste artwork by Dellarious | Rochester Public Market
anticipated contemporary modes
of mass media production.

Warhol Portfolios
Complementing the Season of
Warhol, MAG also presents “Andy
Warhol Portfolios: A Life in Pop”
from the Bank of America collection. Columbia/ Kobal/ Shutterstock
This exhibition features additional
selections from Warhol’s 40-year
span of printmaking work. While
many of the works were made in
the 1970s and 1980s, their subject
matter—iconic people, trends, and
issues—reflects Warhol’s decades-
long process of mirroring popular
American culture.
