Thanks, Kenny! In my opinion it was no contest from the beginning–Warhol was bound to win! Warhol was a superb draughtsman and painter, asm indeed, was Dali. Both were filmmakers but Andy’s art and style is still influencing art today. One can hardly go to an exhibition of art school art without seeing Warhol’s influence on a new generation.
If you are planning a trip to Stockholm don’t miss the “Legacy of Andy Warhol” exhibition at Artepelag (on until 25th September). -

It is true that the legacy of Warhol is perhaps stronger than ever but Dali’s surrealism is still contemporary and a big influence on young artists (and poster makers). This is perhaps inevitable as both artists, to some extent,are post-modern. Accounts of when the two artists met in New York are hilarious as is Warhol’s screen test of Dali. After a short while Dali begins to look very insecure!
Stockholm sounds like the place to be! You’d like an exhibition I went to in Paris recently “The Velvet Underground”. Well worth a visit! I think it’s still on. -
