Warhol Art Exhibit Opens Today at Lawrenceville School

An exhibit of works by famous American artist Andy Warhol will open to the public today, March 28, at the Gruss Center of Visual Arts at Lawrenceville School.

Titled “Warhol: From the Collection of Gregory McCoy,” the exhibit will include original paintings, multiple works on paper, and a variety of prints owned by Gregory McCoy, a New Jersey resident who has spent two decades amassing his Warhol collection.

"Art – both commercial art and fine art – is the field of my greatest expertise and passion. It has always played an important part of my life," McCoy said in a news release in which he emphasized that art collecting can be done affordably. "I began with $34 and a bank loan of $4,000 – you don't have to be a millionaire."

Among the works that will be displayed will be Warhol’s "Marilyn Monroe," "Elizabeth Taylor," "Jackie Kennedy," "TOMATO Soup Can," and "Dollar Sign."

Located on the campus of Lawrenceville School at 2500 Lawrence Rd. (also known as Main Street and Route 206), the Gruss Center is open Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.; and also on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon.

A reception with McCoy will be held at the Gruss Center on Saturday, April 2, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The Warhol exhibit will run until April 23.
