Warhol scene arrives in town
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference."FASHION wasn't what you wore someplace anymore; it was the whole reason for going," said the late Andy Warhol, writes David Lister. Yesterday an exhibition on The Warhol Look opened at the Barbican Centre in London. Running until August as part of a year long celebration of American culture, the exhibition, drawn from The Andy Warhol Museum's vast collection, encompasses paintings, clothing, photographs and reconstructed window displays to give an insight into Warhol's life and work, and the New York social scene from the 1950s to 1980s.
On Saturday 4 July the Barbican will re-create Warhol's famous Factory, where his paintings and other works were worked on by the artist and his staff. The re-creation will include a screen-printing workshop complete with drag artists.
