Last chance as SFMOMA closes Warhol; take a road trip

SFMOMA in San Francisco offers their last weekend to “Meet Andy” in the exhibition Andy Warhol—From A to B and Back Again.

Explore the life of Warhol, from his instantly recognizable pop masterpieces to intimate drawings from his early years. Stretching across three floors of SFMOMA, and featuring a dozen works unique to SFMOMA, this once-in-a-lifetime exhibition reveals new complexities about the Warhol we think we know and introduces a Warhol for the 21st century. 

Can't make it during the day? Take advantage of late-night hours this Saturday, Aug. 31. The exhibition closes completely Sept. 2.

This weekend is also the last chance for the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art's “road trip” featured in the Arts Blog earlier this week.
