This Andy Warhol exhibition covers his work, life and inspirations in the 1950s when we worked in the advertising industry. The two displays shown first are recreations of window displays he made for Gene Moore, who was the display director for Tiffany & Co and Bonwit Teller department store. Other pop art figures also designed for stores but did so under pseudonyms. Warhol signed his work.
