Galleries - June 2025

The exhibition In Newlands House takes advantage of the intimate spaces of an 18 th Century townhouse, to create an atmosphere responding to the different ways that Warhol created work. Curator Jean Wainwright says: “ This exhibition partly traces my own 30-year search for the truth behind the man, through his brothers, family and those who knew him best. In gathering different works from those often associated with him, I hope it reveals a tender, unusual and different side to the Warhol we are familiar with.” Andy Warhol: My True Story follows the critically acclaimed 2024 Newlands House exhibition, Leonora Carrington: Rebel Visionary , which also sought to give visitors an unexpected view of an internationally recognised artist. Newlands House Gallery Director Dr Loucia Manopoulou says , “As Newlands House Gallery celebrates its 5th anniversary, we are delighted to present this landmark exhibition curated by expert Warhol scholar, Jean Wainwright. With her profound knowledge of Warhol, Wainwright’s curatorial intention is to unravel the artist's public persona and unveil the man behind the legend. Through this deeply personal and reflective exhibition, visitors will gain fresh, unique insight into Warhol’s life and artistic legacy approached in a way never seen before.” NOTES TO EDITORS HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGES FOR MEDIA USE CAN BE DOWNLOADED HERE • Andy Warhol at the Factory with 'Flower' paintings, 1964 © Bob Adelman Estate.
