Warhol Exhibit Comes To Charleston

Andy Warhol was a celebrity artist and pop culture icon in the 1960s. A collection of his work is in Charleston for the next six months, the first time it has been outside of The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. 

The Juliet Art Museum at the Clay Center for the Arts & Sciences of West Virginia has just opened the exhibit called “Good Business: Andy Warhol’s Screenprints” to the public. It will remain on display through March 29, 2026. 

This presentation brings with it some of Warhol’s most iconic works. 

“Good Business” explores the artist’s pioneering use of screenprinting and how this medium became both a tool of mass production and an artistic statement. 

Known worldwide, Warhol’s roots and relevance in Appalachia run deep. As a native of Pittsburgh, Warhol’s industrial surroundings and working-class upbringing shaped his approach to image-making, production and self-invention. 

“Andy Warhol is considered the King of Pop Art. And what’s really interesting about him is he really made screen printing, a traditionally light media that was only really used for mass production into a fine art itself,” said Lindsay Miranda, curator of Art and Engagement at the Juliet Art Museum. “Warhol turned everyday objects into icons, challenged the status quo, and blurred the lines between fine art and popular culture — and that spirit of reinvention is something deeply familiar to creatives across Appalachia.” 

Museum admission prices and hours of operation can be found on the Clay Center’s website.
