With the eyes of the art world on Los Angeles this weekend for the opening of the Frieze Art Fair (see our guide here<\/a>) the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts<\/a> has created a unique installation of the late artist\u2019s work to be displayed inside a downtown boutique.<\/p>\n

Opening tonight with a gala reception that\u2019s open to the public, and running through March 12, \u201cAndy WarhoLA\u201d includes more than 100 photographs taken by the artist in the 1960s, 70s and 80s including celebrities like Molly Ringwald and Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers as well as L.A. landmarks like Grauman\u2019s Chinese Theater and traffic on the 405.<\/p>\n

The exhibition will take place entirely on a screen installed inside an oversized reproduction of a 1960s Brillo Box, an homage to Warhol\u2019s iconic pop art sculptures. Curator Michael Dayton Hermann of The Andy Warhol Foundation writes that \u201cthe exhibition collapses commerce, celebrity, and place into a single immersive environment filled with objects of desire,\u201d but come and figure that out for yourself. A new exclusive line of merch drops tonight with proceeds benefiting the non-profit.<\/p>\n

Warhol\u2019s famous Campbell\u2019s soup cans were first exhibited together at Ferus gallery on La Cienega in July of 1962. The gallery was founded by Walter Hopps in 1957 and he was soon joined by Irving Blum, who brought Warhol, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein and Frank Stella to L.A.. Fifty years later, their exploits were captured in the documentary The Cool School<\/a> by Oscar-winner Morgan Neville.<\/p>\n

Those original 32 soup can paintings were about 24\u201d tall and offered at $200 each. (Eli Broad reportedly purchased \u201cSmall Torn Campbell\u2019s Soup Can (Pepper Pot),\u201d in 2006 for $11.7 million<\/a>) A competing gallery on what was then gallery row, stacked actual cans of Campbell\u2019s from the supermarket (including turkey noodle, split pea and clam chowder) in their window with a sign marked \u201cDo not be misled. Get the original. Our low price 2 for 33 cents.\u201d<\/p>\n
