Andy Warhol

Piss Paintings

The new Skarstedt Gallery in Chelsea opened with a comparison show between Yves Klein and Andy Warhol entitled Fire Paintings (Klein) and Oxidation Paintings (Andy). I’ve heard about the Piss paintings before, but had never seen them hung in a gallery. They are very reminiscent of abstract expressionist work, and are quite stunning in their coloration. I particularly like the photo of Andy as you walk in the gallery of him sitting on the toilet. It works. Check it out.
