'Though best known for his iconography of American popular culture and controversial merging of art and mass consumerism, Andy Warhol was also a prolific filmmaker and multimedia artist. This major new exhibition brings together an extensive range of Warhol's films, television programmes, archive material, installations and iconic paintings. A selection of the artist's personal video diaries is on display, along with screen tests of luminaries such as Salvador DalĂ­ and Marcel Duchamp. Some of Warhol's most celebrated films, including Chelsea Girls and Empire, screen alongside rarely seen offerings such as Mrs Warhol — a quaint cinematic portrait of the artist's mother, Julia.'
