Andy Warhol, Catholicism, Identity, and his Art

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Dec 7, 2021

Growing up in Pittsburgh, Andy Warhol was raised as a devout Catholic. Even after he moved to New York City and lived as openly gay man, he never abandoned his faith and would regularly attend Mass. Andy Warhol: Revelation, a new exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, explores the complicated relationship between Warhol's faith and his art. Lead curator Carmen Hermo, as well as José Carlos Diaz, chief curator of the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, speak with us about the intersections between Warhol's identity, art, and faith.

Andy Warhol: Revelation runs through June 19, 2022
