NEW YORK – Andy Warhol came to The Ukrainian Museum on October 6, and so did some 200 admirers.
The occasion was the opening of “Andy Warhol: Endangered Species,” the first exhibition of Warhol works ever shown at a Ukrainian American institution. Timed to coincide with the 90th anniversary of the artist’s birth, the exhibition features an exceptional if lesser-known series of silkscreens depicting 10 of the world’s endangered animals, which Warhol (1928-1987) created in 1983 at the behest of New York City art gallery owners Ronald and Frayda Feldman, along with a companion piece created two years later.
