Andy Warhol's Sex!

Call for Papers

Proposals are requested for papers for a conference entitled Andy
Warhol's Sex! at the Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh.  While sexuality in
Warhol's work has been the subject of some preliminary scholarly inquiry,
this conference will explore the topic in fuller detail and from a
variety of viewpoints.  Topics might includ  the gay male creative
tradition; sexual themes in Warhol's paintings, drawings and films;
Warhol's attitudes towards gender and sexuality; the convergence of
sexuality with popular culture; and the legacy of these ideas in art and
culture.  The Andy Warhol Museum is one of the largest single-artist
museums in the world and houses a vast collection of art and archival
material from all periods of the artist's life.  Conference participants
will be encouraged to make use of the museum's extensive collections in
advance of and during the conference.

Send a letter of intent and abstract (500 words maximum) to:
