When pop art artist Andy Warhol filmed screen tests of “beautiful people” in New York City in the 60s, he created classic takes on Dennis Hopper, Edie Sedgwick and Lou Reed, among others.
The Warhol Museum commissioned “13 Most Beautiful,” featuring 13 of the more than 470 “moving portraits” set to music written by artists Dean and Britta, who will perform the selections LIVE at the Emery Theatre in OTR Friday. Tickets for Contemporary Arts Center members are just $15; advance sales for others just $23.
