In celebration of the museum’s fifth anniversary, and the acquisition of a great portrait of Marlon Brando, The Warhol has created a new, Factory-inspired re-installation in the two first-floor galleries. The installation captures the ambiance of the busy, star-studded, and creativity-saturated Factory, allowing visitors a voyeuristic peek into Andy’s world.  

The big, un-missable Warhol self-portrait still welcomes you, but surrounding it now are commissioned portraits, and portraits of people who knew and worked with Warhol—people who might have dropped by The Factory on any given day to partake in some wildly creative session or simply to hang out. Arranged in two layers side-by-side, these new images extend around the room, with Warhol appropriately at the center, watching over and inspiring all.  

Additionally, the second first-floor gallery, previously filled with portraits of POP movement icons, now features the new Marlon as well as portraits of Elvis, Jackie, Liz, and others--all friends of Andy’s, or people who fascinated and inspired him.
