// RICHARD & ANDY //

Gagosian pairs works by Richard Avedon and Andy Warhol, whose most memorable images, produced in response to changing cultural mores, are icons of the twentieth century.

The works of both Avedon and Warhol are juxtaposed throughout the exhibition, emphasizing such common themes as social and political power, the evolving acceptance of cultural differences and minorities, the inevitability of mortality, and the glamour and despair of celebrity.

In its third exhibition of his work, Gagosian New York presents over twenty-five paintings made by Bacon in London and Paris during the last two decades of his life.

 Different from his visceral brushwork of the 1940s to 1970s, Bacon sprayed his paint to add a chiaroscuro and refinement to his familiar figures, forever caught in a sense of primal fear.
