The Arkansas Arts Center will host the lecture Andy Warhol and the Pop Art Revolution presented by University of Kansas Associate Professor of Art History David Cateforis on Thursday, November 20, 2008, in the Lecture Hall.  A reception will be held at 6 p.m. followed by the lecture at 6:30 p.m.

Cateforis teaches American, modern and contemporary art at the University of Kansas. Active as a scholar, critic and curator, Cateforis has published criticism in Review and Art Papers.  He has organized exhibitions for many museums and galleries and has written for the collection catalogues of the Des Moines Art Center and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, among others.  His writing on Pop art includes “All the Great Modern Things: American Pop Art in the Spencer Museum of Art,” in Decade of Transformation: American Art of the 1960s (Spencer Museum of Art, 1999), and the brochure essay for Commodities, Celebrities, Death and Disaster: Andy Warhol, Michael Bevilacqua, Yasumasa Morimura, Lucinda Devlin (Salina Art Center, 2004).

In this lecture, Cateforis will survey the art of Andy Warhol and his fellow New York Pop artists Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, James Rosenquist and Tom Wesselmann during Pop’s heyday in the 1960s.  He will also look at Pop’s continuing presence in the work of several younger international contemporary artists.

Your Canvas Junkie Host

I am your host at Canvas Junkie and work in several media. I design and make one of a kind sculpture you can wear or jewelry.

As well as paint, make found object sculpture and generally will chase after anything sparkly. When I was a teen my dad would introduce me as his daughter with the disclaimer of "You know artists are weird".

Now that I have seen many years of life pass by (I'm in denial about exactly how many)............. I'm happy to be known as an artist because....... life is just weird.
