Step into the vibrant world of Warhol After Hours at Dovecot Studios. Sip specially curated cocktails from the award-winning Holyrood Distillery on the spectacular weaving balcony while enjoying Dovecot's balcony display, before a guided tour through the iconic Andy Warhol: The Textiles exhibition. This exclusive event offers a fusion of socialising and art appreciation against the backdrop of Warhol’s groundbreaking works.
Andy Warhol: The Textiles will take you on a journey through the unknown and unrecorded world of designs by the influential artist before his Silver Factory days. Showcasing over 35 of Warhol’s textile patterns from the period, depicting an array of colourful objects; ice cream sundaes, delicious toffee apples, buttons, cut lemons, pretzels, and jumping clowns, this exhibition demonstrates how textile and fashion design was a crucial stage in Warhol becoming one of the most iconic artists of the twentieth century.
