In 1978-79 Andy Warhol produced Shadows, a monumental,
102-part series of silkscreened canvases. The work's internal compositions are
culled from photographs of shadows taken in The Factory, the artist's New York
City studio. In Shadows, Warhol extended his long-standing interest in
seriality and repetition while forgoing the cultural icons and commodity forms
that most often populate his art. MOCA's presentation will feature the full
collection of paintings from Dia Art Foundation. Installed edge to edge, the
series of abstract panels-once referred to by Warhol as "disco
decor"-create a haunting, environmental ensemble.
