A MAJOR international exhibition featuring two of the most significant artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, Andy Warhol and Ai Weiwei, is now open at the National Gallery of Victoria.
Presenting the work of both artists, the exhibition explores modern and contemporary art, life and cultural politics through the activities of two exemplary figures – one of whom represents 20th century modernity and the “American century” and the other contemporary life in the 21st century and what has been heralded as the “Chinese century” to come.
