This exhibition showcases more than 50 stellar works from the over 1400 prints owned by the museum. Graphic images by major artists such as Alexander Calder, Chuck Close, Jim Dine, Jasper Johns, Alex Katz, Roy Lichtenstein, Pablo Picasso, and Andy Warhol will fill the galleries with intense color, bold images, and bravura techniques. From a simple image of John and Yoko by John Lennon to a large double-sided print about the destruction of the planet, there will be something on view to interest every visitor.

The Art Museum at the University of Kentucky has two other exhibitions going in addition to the print collection show:

Andy Warhol: Fame and Photography Exhibition through August 24, 2008, and Breaking Tradition, Forging Ahead: WPA Prints from the Collection through September 15, 2008.

If you are traveling up to, or through Lexington any time this summer, plan a little extra time to go and see these terrific exhibitions!
