A Year in the Life of Andy Warhol: Photographs by David McCabe
(September 2–October 14, 2004)

In 1964, Pop artist Andy Warhol commissioned David McCabe, a young British fashion photographer, to document his life for one year. The result was a unique portrait of one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century and a compelling behind-the-scenes look at the New York City art world at a time when Pop art was becoming the latest incarnation of the avant-garde. Unpublished until now, these remarkable photographs are currently the focus of a new book, A Year in the Life of Andy Warhol: Photographs by David McCabe, as well as the subject of this companion exhibition. Descriptions and reminiscences (taken from the book) by Factory insider David Dalton, one of Warhol’s first assistants, will accompany David McCabe’s photographs.

Morality Tales: William Hogarth
(October 21-December 12, 2004)

Considered a leading figure in British art of the first half of the eighteenth century, William Hogarth (1697-1764) is best remembered for his satirical engravings, particularly pointed critiques that revealed a number of the less-than savory aspects of English society of the time. This exhibition will present five of his most important sets of engravings, all based on paintings he himself created. They include A Harlot’s Progress (1732), A Rake’s Progress (1735), Before and After (1736), The Four Times of Day (1738), and two new acquisitions, lifetime impressions of the companion engravings Beer Street and Gin Lane (1750/51), as well as an insightful self-portrait of the artist, The Painter and his Pug, engraved by Benjamin Smith in 1795 after a painting by the artist of the same title.

The 2003 Margaret Stonewall Wooldridge Hamblet Award Winner Exhibition
(January 13 - Februuary 3, 2005)

This exhibition features recent works by Nicole Pietrantoni, the 2003 Margaret Stonewall Wooldridge Hamblet Award winner. The Hamblet Award winner is selected by a panel of outside jurors from an open invitational for graduating seniors held each spring. The award, an $18,500 grant to be used for travel and study during the year following graduation, culminates in this exhibition. Pietrantoni’s art is an amalgam of printmaking, painting, and collage that is both illustrative and semi-autobiographical, filled with a whimsical cast of characters from damsels in distress to bees, crows, and nesting birds. She describes her work as a series of journal entries, a map filled with secret codes and fanciful language, that is a reflection of the people, places, and emotions she experienced throughout her travels during the past year.
