Being Andy Warhol

This exhibition features selections from the Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum's permanent collection and represents a cross-section of snapshots and Polaroid images taken by Warhol in the 1970s and 1980s. The photographs depict rare and intimate glimpses of Warhol's life and the people he encountered in his studio or at social gatherings.

The exhibition is made possible by a bequest through the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

Imprinting the South: Prints from the Collection of Lynn Barstis Williams and Stephen J. Goldfarb

From etchings to relief prints, lithographs and a few serigraphs, this exhibition primarily focuses on Southern subjects from the 1920s to the 1940s with some prints from the etching revival period of the 1880s as well as some works from the contemporary era.

A former Auburn University library faculty member, Lynn Williams began collecting these images for her research. Williams and Goldfarb have made an effort to acquire prints exposing both positive and critical views of the South. The beauty of the South is demonstrated in this exhibition through scenes of landscape, architecture, worship and entertainment, while the critical perspective focuses mainly on race. Charleston, S.C., and New Orleans, L.A. , are highlighted because of the distinct architectural characteristics of both cities. Some of the artists included are Robert Gwathmey, Alfred Hutty, Elizabeth O'Neill Verner and W. R. Locke.

Slightly Unbalanced

This exhibition will survey works by artists who have repeatedly focused on neurosis of various kinds in their work, using themselves and the people around them as fodder for their investigations. During the past fifteen years, inspired by the work of several prominent older artists, a younger generation has been exploring he peculiarities of the human psyche in their video works, installations, photographs, paintings, and drawing.
