Exhibitors KIWI Arts Group and ModernMasters Fine Art present ‘Behind the Lens of William John Kennedy’ and ‘ModernMasters Serves It Rare,’ respectively. Together, the exhibitions chronicle the journey of Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana from before they were famous, to the rare, museum-quality work of Warhol with collaborative pieces by Jean-Michel Basquiat and others. The imagery is bold and candid, with musical, pop cultural and racial undertones that capture the moments – with pieces such as Steaks 99 or Americans 1963 – that helped shape American contemporary art.
