Andy Warhol artwork to go on display in Milton Keynes

More than 130 images created by the American artist, who was born in 1928 and died in 1987, will be on show, including two paintings of British art duo Gilbert & George, who were the focus of MK Gallery’s inaugural exhibition in 1999.

His work from the 1950s – 80s, including early drawings, painted-silkscreens and photographic series featuring Warhol’s collaborations with artists, friends, filmmakers and celebrities, will feature the gallery said.

His fascination with mortality, guns, skulls and war, is a theme that will feature in the exhibition.
