The other weekend I went to a show called Warhol Out West. I wanted to see some big bright canvases (they also had a good collection of tiny Polaroids), but wasn't really expecting to see anything new. Even if you haven't seen all of his paintings, after a while you feel like you've got the basic ideas. But then I turned a corner and found a few pieces that were quite shocking. A number of the paintings (notably a big one with shoes and a slightly smaller one with a portrait of Georgia Okeefe) had diamond dust mixed into some of the ink, giving the works a literally shimmering appearance. I've never seen one of the sparkly Warhols before, and I'm so happy I paid the way-too-high fee for the show.
