ANDY WARHOL EXHIBITION IN SCOTLAND

Scottish Monroe fans will have the chance to see the iconic multi coloured prints of Marilyn in an up and coming Andy Warhol exhibition in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Where:  Scottish National Gallery Of Modern Art  75 Belford Road, Edinburgh, EH4 3DR

When: November 17th 2018 – June 2nd 2019

Admission: Free

Info:

‘This exhibition takes its theme from a much-quoted remark by Andy Warhol: “I want to be a machine”. Behind Warhol’s seemingly facetious quip was the serious belief that art would become increasingly mechanised. This exhibition examines Warhol’s and Paolozzi’s work, showing how they captured images from photography and advertisements. Warhol traced his images while Paolozzi used collage, until they both turned to screenprinting in the early 1960s to transform photographs into prints. The exhibition includes rarely seen drawings by Warhol from the 1950s, as well as his famous multi-coloured prints of Marilyn Monroe and a group of recently acquired ‘stitched’ photographs. Works by Paolozzi include some of his early proto-Pop collages from the early 1950s and his kaleidoscopically-coloured prints from the 60s and 70s.’

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MITZI GAYNOR

Today we are wishing a true living Hollywood legend, Mitzi Gaynor a very happy 87th birthday.

Gaynor is an American actress, singer, and dancer. Her most Notable films include “There’s No Business Like Show Business” (1954) and “South Pacific”, the 1958 motion picture adaptation of the stage musical by Rodgers and Hammerstien.

Of course fans of Marilyn’s earlier screen roles will also know that both Monroe and Gaynor co-starred in “We’re Not Married,” though neither had any scenes together.

Mitzi Gaynor in “We’re Not Married.”


Gaynor has always spoken very highly of Marilyn, a great example can be watched here when she was interviewed about her time working with the screen icon in 2012:https://youtu.be/_cZ2i7PL8I0

She was also once quoted as saying:

“I played Ethel Merman’s daughter in that picture and we became best friends …Marilyn Monroe played a hat-check girl in the picture, but she wasn’t around all the time. She was busy creating Marilyn Monroe. If you see that picture now, though, and really pay attention to it, you realize that Marilyn steals the whole damn picture.”
