Artists & Icons

My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person."
Andy Warhol

A programme of artists' films, showing in the Gallery, which brings together an eclectic mix of personalities and icons: from Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich (Meeting of Two Queens) to Joan of Arc and Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz (Mirror), from American sporting heroes (Soft Ticket) to an enchanted silent film actress (Rose Hobart) -  as well as the host of cultural icons swirling around Andy Warhol from Allan Ginsberg to Mick Jagger, John Lennon and Yoko Ono to Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground (Scenes from the Life of Andy Warhol). This diverse range of celebrated film work (shown in a continuous loop) illuminates the intimate relationship between artists and icons.
