Dear Artbeat Member,

Step into the 60s at the NGV. Flair: From Salon to Boutique, on now at NGV Australia, looks at the radical cultural transformation of fashion in the 1960s. Opening soon at NGV International, Andy Warhol’s Time Capsules will provide a voyeuristic insight into the life of this iconic artist.

Don’t miss the exclusive Members preview of Andy Warhol’s Time Capsules on Tuesday 15 March. On behalf of the NGV Members team, we look forward to seeing you there.

Melissa Obeid
Manager, NGV Members

Andy Warhol’s Time Capsules

NGV International, St Kilda Road
16 March – 8 May

To instill order into his chaotic world, Andy Warhol made a habit of clearing the contents of his desk into uniform cardboard boxes, which he referred to as Time Capsules. In doing so, his collections at once became art as well as archive.
