The Next Warhol?

Right now in the Hall of Sculpture of the Carnegie Museum, works produced by students in the studio art programs are on display. The youth programs at the Carnegie nurtured the early talents of such Pittsburgh artists as Andy Warhol and Renee Stout. Walking through the variations on a project, like many examples of “figure proportion study,” I already got a sense of some of the young talents’ imitations and innovations in the exercise. It is well worth seeing if you are already at the museum, maybe taking note of a name or two, because you never know when you might preview the next Warhol.
