Andy Warhol: Tate modern. (London).
Like Picasso, Andy Warhol has kept the wheels of the art industry turning, inspiring one generation after another. Coming to London from Berlin's Neue Nationalgalerie, the latest blockbuster, curated by Heiner Bastian and the Tate's Donna De Salvo, promises yet a new version of Warhol's epic scope, including a look at his much neglected late abstract work, which, like his early wallpaper, just keeps on rolling out. And this time around, Warhol's expanding universe embraces not only the usual fat catalogue (with contributions by Bastian, De Salvo, Kirk Varnedoe, and Peter-Claus Schuster) but a three-part TV series, The Whole Warhol, with cameo cameo (kăm`ēō), small relief carving, usually on striated precious or semiprecious stones or on shell. The design, often a portrait head, is commonly cut in the light-colored vein, and the dark one is left as the background. Glass of two colors in layers may be cameo-cut; a famous Roman example is the Portland vase. appearances by everyone from Debbie Harry to Arthur C. Danto. Feb. 7-Apr. 1.
