Elizabeth and I left at 10am for two exhibits today. First up was Warhol at the Palais de Tokyo in the Musee d'Art Moderne.
On display were his large Campbell's Soup cans, the self portrait usually at MoMA, Jackie O, Screen Tests, Flowers, Electric Chair with cow wallpaper as originally exhibited, photos of the Velvet Underground and Nico, film from the Exploding Plastic Inevitable and all 102 of the Shadows series.
