Fall 2019 Booth Bulletin

A PUBLICATION OF BOOTH WESTERN ART MUSEUM OCTOBER | NOVEMBER |DECEMBER 2019

As you can see by the cover of this issue, we are all about Andy Warhol right now. The opening of our major traveling exhibition Warhol and the West was a great party. Even Andy Warhol himself (played skillfully by Alan Sanders) made an appearance. The celebrations will continue through our annual Cowboy Festival and Symposium when we will welcome Andy’s nephew James Warhola to The Booth. James wrote and illustrated the book depicted on our cover from his remembrances of visiting his uncle in New York City when he was a boy. And, yes, Andy’s original last name was Warhola. He dropped the “a” when he first moved to New York City after college to pursue a career as an illustrator, believing it sounded “too ethnic.” During his visit, James will talk about his famous uncle in two different sessions, but he will also discuss his own artwork and read or draw portions of his book for families visiting the McNair Store during the Cowboy Festival and Symposium at 10:30 am and 1:30 pm on Saturday, October 26. While much of our focus is on Warhol, we do have two great photography exhibitions on view. Every fall we look forward to the opening of the Booth Photography Guild Annual Exhibition in Borderlands Gallery. I am always eager to see the new and different ways photographers are pushing the boundaries of the art form. Yet, I also marvel at some of the stunningly simple images that without much enhancement can also stop you in your tracks. Speaking of simple, our Lonesome Dove photography exhibition currently on view has a number of simple, yet highly effective images that convey the bond between men, the spirit of the West and their impending mortality. Bill Wittliff, the photographer who shot these great images passed away earlier this year, but his images of Gus and Call will preserve the Texas spirit and his legacy for generations to come. I hope you will take advantage of your unlimited access to these exhibitions through your membership and think about who else around you would enjoy a visit to The Booth to see any or all of these exhibitions.
