The Last Supper (Warhol)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Series of paintings by Andy Warhol

The Last Supper is a series ofpaintings created by the American artistAndy Warhol (1929–1987) between 1984 and 1986. The series is based on the famedLast Supper (c. 1495–1498) byLeonardo da Vinci.[1]

History

[edit]

Art dealerAlexander Iolas commissioned the series in 1984 for an exhibition at the old refectory of the Palazzo delle Stelline inMilan, opposite from theSanta Maria delle Grazie where Leonardo da Vinci's mural can be seen.[2]

Warhol exceeded the demands of the commission and produced nearly 100 variations on the theme, mostly silkscreens and paintings, and among them a collaborative sculpture with Basquiat, theTen Punching Bags (Last Supper).[3] The Milan exhibition that opened in January 1987 with a set of 22 silk-screens, was the last exhibition for both the artist and the gallerist.[4] Warhol died shortly after the opening in February 1987, soon followed by the death of Iolas in June 1987.

The Last Supper series was seen by some as "arguably his greatest",[5] but by others as "wishy-washy, religiose" and "spiritless".[6]

TheMuseo del Novecento held a 2017 exhibition of the works in honor of the thirtieth anniversary of their Milanese debut.[7]

Some art scholars including Jessica Beck a curator at theAndy Warhol Museum inPittsburgh have posited that they are an artistic response by Warhol to theAIDS crisis.[8][9][10]

The paintings are discussed in depth in "Loving the Alien", the sixth and final episode of the 2022NetflixdocuseriesThe Andy Warhol Diaries.[11]
