Andy Warhol, Shadows

October 26–December 15, 2018, 205 West 39th Street, New York City

Overview

Andy Warhol’s Shadows (1978–79) was first presented by Dia in New York City in 1979. A single painting in multiple parts, Shadows is one of Warhol’s most abstract works, yet one that cohesively synthesizes key elements of his practice, including film, painting, photography, and screenprinting. Following its New York presentation at a temporary space in Calvin Klein, Inc.’s headquarters, from October 26 through December 15, 2018, the work reopened as a long-term installation at Dia Beacon in Beacon, New York, where the installation surrounds the viewer with a series of canvases presented edge-to-edge around the perimeter of the room, in conformity with Warhol’s original vision.

Shadows is on view at a specially built-out gallery space at Calvin Klein, Inc.'s headquarters at 205 West 39th Street.
