Andy Warhol’s screen print “Vote McGovern” is prepared
for exhibition. It’s part of “Warhol: Fabricated,”
opening tonight at UAB.

UAB’s new AEIVA features an exhibit opening tonight by one of the foremost modern American artists.

“Warhol: Fabricated” has nine screen prints and 120 photos from Andy Warhol showing his impact in various media and on the artistic landscape.

Two free events kick off the 2-month exhibit at the Abroms-Engel Institute for the Visual Arts:

• 4:30 today: Panel discussion on appropriation in art, with New York artist Charles Lutz, AEIVA curator John Fields and director Lisa Tamiris Becker;
• 6-8 tonight: Opening reception.

The university has received a number of Warhol works over the years. The show features those pieces, along with loaners from the Andy Warhol Museum, the Booth Western Art Museum, the Birmingham Museum of Art, Beta Pictoris and private collectors.

AEIVA is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and from noon to 6 p.m. Saturdays. Admission is free.

The institute is located at 1221 10th Ave. S., Southside [map]. For more information, visit the event page or contact AEIVA@uab.edu or (205) 975-6436.
