There’s something really fascinating about taking an iconic person, and figure in art history, and humanizing them. In Andy Warhol: Revelation, visitors get to enjoy a rarely-seen look into the artist’s personal life—including his cherished relationship with his mother.
“I never met a person I couldn’t call a beauty.” - Andy Warhol

In his most famous works of the 1960s, Warhol often lifted imagery from newspaper ads. In the 1980s, he returned to this source, drawing from spiritual advertisements but varying his approach by tracing the ads by hand.
The images include a Jesus Christ night-light, a reference to the book of Revelation’s apocalyptic mark of the beast, admonitions for good behavior in consideration of the afterlife, and a radiant star of psychic power. The question “ARE YOU DIFFERENT?” may indicate Warhol’s personal insecurities, or how his sexuality had marked him throughout his life.
