Get 2 for 1 entry with Time Out
Andy's back, or rather, he never went away. An eye-popping exhibition design will lead viewers on a bleary-eyed tour of five-hour sleep marathons, drag queen screen tests and strip poker with a horse. Don't ask, just come and get your 15 minutes.

If you do go to see Warhol forget paying the full price and tell the person on the till that half of the printed work is exhibited above the natural eye line and is hung up to approximately 25ft high, so, unless you are 18ft or taller will not be able to appreciate it, therefore you will only be paying half the entry fee as you can only see half of the work. Sadly, I was told that as I’d made it the end of the exhibition I had ‘seen’ the show and was not entitle to a discount, I do hope you have more luck as this was art hanging at it’s worse.
Two words for the Haywood; CREDIT CRUNCH…
smug and uninspiring.
I was actually rather unimpressed by this exhibition; although they've tried to get a real feel for the essence of the artist this has led to the space being cramped and none of the exhibits getting the space they deserve. The films suffer particularly, being too close together to even hear the one you are watching properly. Much better was Robin Rhode's 'Who Saw Who' exhibition upstairs.
i wish he werent dead like.
