From July 3 to October 10, 2021, UCCA presents “Becoming Andy Warhol,” Opening, the most comprehensive exhibition of Andy Warhol (1928-1987) staged to date in China. In conjunction with the exhibition, UCCA released a bilingual catalogue featuring images of the hundreds of artworks and archival objects in the show alongside extensive annotations. These are accompanied by three major essays: exhibition curator José Carlos Diaz discusses the idea of becoming with a series of anecdotes surrounding the artist’s birthdays; Blake Gopnik, whose exhaustive biography of Warhol was published in 2020, explores the Pop icon’s often overlooked background in classical and modern art; and art critic Zhou Wanjing probes the enduring resonance of the pursuit of newness in the twenty-first century. The catalogue is designed by Hubert & Fischer and published by Zhejiang Photographic Press.
