Warhol in Berlin

It is still fascinating and entertaining to watch Andy Warhol exhibitions: ”If you want to know all about AW, just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There´s nothing behind it”. Sounds one of the texts written on the wall at the Berlin ”Celebrities and the stars and Andy Warhol”, that is a small exhibition with some interesting drawings and photos and of course the magnificent painting of Mao. One more quote: ”Publicity is like eating peanuts. Once you start you can´t stop”. (Open until January 11).

Hamburger Bahnhof is a great place for exhibitions. We also saw Joseph Beuys, the German phenomenon, the man with the hat, huge exhibition under the title ”Die Revolution sind Wir” – and some contemporary artists with inpiration from Duchamps and Fluxus.

The museum is easy to reach – go to the new Hauptbahnhof, 5 minutes from there.
