x icon Close
Today's Hours | Sat: 9:00 am - 3:30 pm

In January of 1977, Andy Warhol, the King of Pop, and Jamie Wyeth, Prince of Realism, exhibited their remarkable portraits of one another at Cheekwood in an exhibition celebrating the creative exchange between two artists from seemingly different worlds.

Now, fifty years later, Cheekwood revisits this landmark moment in its history, bringing these works together once more, alongside more recent portraits by Jamie Wyeth that offer a fresh perspective on this enduring artistic connection.

What began as an unlikely friendship grew into a remarkable artistic exchange. Spending time together at Warhol’s legendary Factory in New York, the two created portraits that challenged expectations of both artists’ work. Their collaboration spanned several years of creative dialogue, offering a rare glimpse into the worlds of two American artists who found inspiration in one another. Fifty years later, their portraits reunite at Cheekwood, bringing this extraordinary story full circle.
