----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Due to the transition between museum directors, the conference entitled ANDY WARHOL'S SEX! has been postponed from Spring 1997 to Fall 1997. The deadline for proposal submissions has also been extended -- to December 31, 1996. 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 include: 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 encourage to make use of the museum's extensive collections in advance and during the conference. Send a letter of intent and abstract (500 words maximum) by December 31, 1996 to: The Conference Committee Andy Warhol Museum 117 Sandusky Street Pittsburgh, PA 15212-5890
