Andy Warhol, Kids on Swings, tempera on board, 31 x 26 7/8 inches, 1946.
Andy Warhol in ‘Pearlstein/Warhol/Cantor’ at Betty Cunningham
Sixteen years before his solo debut at LA’s Ferus Gallery, Andy Warhol was just another art student at Carnegie Tech. Here, the whimsical character, if not the elegantly wavering line of his later commercial illustrations is prefigured in a student assignment from 1946. (At Betty Cunningham Gallery on the Lower East Side through Feb 13th).
