Starting tomorrow will be an exhibition called Warhol Live at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. There've been thousands of exhibitions of Warhol's works, but this is one of the first to focus specifically on the role of music in his works and life. From his major musician "portraits: (Elvis, Grace Jones, Mick Jagger, Debbie Harry, etc.) to his album covers and TV and video clips for groups like The Cars, this exhibition will be extremely comprehensive. Over 640 works and objects, paintings, silkscreens, photographs, installations, and films will be displayed. Of specific interest should be the screen tests of the legendary Velvet Underground.
