Thorne-Sagendorph Spring Thorne-Sagendorph Spring Kick Off

The Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery at Keene State will kick off its spring exhibitions with a free, public opening reception party with live music by Signals Over the Air on April 13 at 5 pm. Two new exhibitions will be on display. A showcase of work created by 16 Keene State seniors who will earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts or Bachelor of Arts will be available in the gallery from April 14 until May 5 , Commencement day. Also new will be an exhibition of over 160 Andy Warhol silkscreens and photographs offering visitors a window into the complex world of the artist and his many associates in a "Silver Factory" installation.

In addition to the student show, 160 Andy Warhol pieces will be on display at the Gallery in a show titled "cLIck\CliQue: A Warhol Experience".

The exhibition, including hundreds of photographs donated to the Thorne by the Warhol estate, was designed by curator Shari Osborn and students enrolled in Cheshire Academy for Lifelong Learning (CALL) courses held at the Gallery. Andy Warhol was an obsessive photographer, driven artist, compulsive diarist, and an iconic yet deeply private cultural figure. These works offer a look into his world.
