Regarding Warhol: Sixty Artists, Fifty Years closes on Monday, December 31, 2012 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Two things to note:
1. It's a Monday. The Met is open this Monday: New Year's Eve Day.
2. It's a great way to ring out the old year before imbibing in the bubbly.
Please join me on Monday, December 31 at 12:30 pm in the cafeteria at the Met to discuss the show and future events offered by the New York Arts Exchange. I'll be in our usual spot: at a table in the back area. We'll share our lunch and then bid farewell to Andy and his Gang.
BTW: in the first gallery of Regarding Warhol, you will find Before and After, 1961

In my review of The Deconstructive Impulse, I featured Deborah Kass's appropriation of this work, which is now in her show at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh through January 6, 2013.
Here is the website for Deborah Kass: Before and Happily Ever After

May the new year be Happily Ever After too.
