So, just to clear up any confusion, that's not a Warhol piece in the photo. No photography was allowed in the actual exhibit area, so I took a photo of my favorite piece in the Mint Museum. You will know that I have arrived, when that hangs above my super chic sofa. (BTW, I don't have a super chic sofa, so I guess I'll be needing that also)
Enough about that and back to Warhol. My friends Sharon and Erin and I went and I'm so glad that we did. It was fascinating. Everyone knows about the Marilyn Monroe Warhol piece, but there are so many iconic images that I had no idea were Warhol that I truly enjoy. Honestly, my favorite Warhol piece was one that he did of Santa Claus. There was a whole series of myths, which is where St. Nick fell, along with Superman and the Wicked Witch of the West. I also enjoyed learning about the history and the processes surrounding the pieces, so great. It was wonderful to be able to learn about a real piece of our history. Oh yeah, and for free. Don't forget folks, the Mint Museum is free every Tuesday after 5pm, so get out there and get cultured!
