“He’s more than a hockey player, he’s an entertainer. An entertaining hockey player.” – Andy Warhol, 1983
Technology meets pop art in Gretzky is Everywhere featuring Andy Warhol’s celebrated 1984 print Wayne Gretzky 99. See it in several galleries across the country at the same time via live video feed from each venue, and consider both the pervasive nature of The Great One’s image in Canadian culture, and the mass reproduction of celebrity images central to Warhol’s practice.
Curated by Mireille Eagan and Pam Wendt. A collaboration between the Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton; Confederation Centre Art Gallery, Charlottetown; and The Rooms, St. Johns.
