WILLIAMSTOWN, MASS. — The Williams College Museum of Art (WCMA) presents “Warhola Becomes Warhol — Andy Warhol: Early Work,” on view through June 10.

Drawn from the museum’s collection, this exhibition features Warhol’s early work from 1952 through the late 1960s demonstrating his evolution from commercial artist to Pop icon.

“Warhola Becomes Warhol” contains more than 50 works on paper and sculpture, including hand colored offset lithographs, blotted line drawings and rare artist books. The exhibition includes several rare pieces, including an unbound, original manuscript of Snow in the Street and Rain in the Sky, 1952.

Also on view are several of Warhol’s rarely displayed Polaroid portraits of celebrities, including Mick Jagger; working “dummies,” or mock-ups, created for Warhol’s Interview magazine; and an original collage, circa 1966, that became his iconic cow wallpaper. Several later works, such as “Jackie,” 1964, and “Self Portrait,” 1986, are also on display, allowing visitors to understand how the techniques that Warhol learned as a commercial artist became the vehicles he later employed to mass produce his artwork and create the Warhol brand. 

The Williams College Museum of Art is on Main Street. For information, 413-597-2429.
