The Lyon, the Which and the Warhol  (Celebrating Fifty Years of the Hofstra University Museum)

Now through Sunday, May 19, 2013  HUM David Filderman Gallery  Joan and Donald E. Axinn Library, Ninth Floor, South Campus

Culling from the Museum’s extensive photography collection, this exhibition offers photographs by photojournalist Danny Lyon and visionary Pop artist, Andy Warhol, connecting them to works in other media by Chuck Close, Jim Dine, and Lisbeth Firmin (the “Which.”) The exhibit emphasizes parallels between these artists in their use of indirect portraiture, physical presence and their creative process.
