The kids, Lisette and I went to the Andy Warhol Museum today. I've never been a fan of his work (what little I have seen) but Lisette expressed an interest. I thought since I had never seen very much of his work that it would be good to see more of it to better draw my conclusions about it.
I've
come to the conclusion that Andy Warhol is just as awful as I thought.
Keith Haring (one of the extra exhbits that they were displaying as
well) is even worse! Personally, I find the two of them brilliant for
being able to convince so many people to buy their work.
There
were some other exhibits that ranged (to me of course) from mediocre to
bad (but never as bad as AW or KH). The exhibit I enjoyed most of all
were the photographs and words by Gretchen Berg ABOUT Andy Warhol.
(Oh, and I also enjoyed the display case full of AW's old things--old
photographs, school records, etc)
We
stopped in Southside at Pizza Vesuvius which makes the only fantastic
pizza in all of Pittsburgh. It's been such a long time since I've had
a slice of their pizza and it was every bit as good as I remembered.
And they still stock Diet Stewarts Root Beer!
This
was the kids' favorite exibit! Giant Silver Balloons drifting about in
a room. I only had my cell phone camera to take the picture so I did
the best I could.
