Raid the Icebox 1 with Andy Warhol

description

Exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with show held at the Institute for the Arts, Rice University, Houston, October 29, 1969 - January 4, 1970. Traveled to The Isaac Delgado Museum, New Orleans, January 17 - February 15, 1970; and Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, April 23 - June 30, 1970. Texts by Daniel Robbins and David Bourdon. Catalogue by Stephen E. Ostrow.

So they set Andy Warhol loose in the storage area of the Museum of Art at RISD [aka "The Icebox"] and the exhibition became what he found there and selected for the exhibition. Artist as curator. But rather than choosing painting, sculpture and drawings, he curated a rich show incorporating decorative arts too - Bandboxes and Hatboxes; Baskets; Ceramics; Chairs; Costume Accessories, Footwear, Parasols and Umbrellas; Textiles and Wallpaper. Brilliant. Little did we know, until his death, how much Warhol adored this stuff.
