"Translations of Warhol" shown at Penn Rare Book Library
Professor Reva Wolf
Professor Wolf organized the symposium Translating Warhol and a related exhibition, Translations of Warhol, both at the University of Pennsylvania’s rare book library. The exhibition featured translations into Asian and European languages of three of Warhol’s publications: a 1963 interview, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol of 1975, and POPism of 1980. The symposium and exhibition—the first focused studies of the topic—revealed how details of editing, word choice, and even cover design contribute to the complex interpretive process involved when the work of a highly influential artist such as Warhol is translated. The symposium papers were published in the June 2022 issue of the Journal of Art Historiography, available here.
“The Compasses Embodied: Hands as Evidence in Goya’s Portraits—Problems and Possibilities,” part of Reva Wolf’s ongoing work on eighteenth-century Freemasonry and visual culture, is included in the book On Portraiture: Theory, Practice, and Fiction—From Francisco de Holanda to Susan Sontag, edited by Annemarie Jordan Gschwend, Maria João Gamito, and Fernando António Baptista Pereira and published in Fall 2022 as an e-book by the University of Lisbon. Available here.
Professor Wolf also gave a paper on a recently initiated aspect of her research on Goya and eighteenth-century Freemasonry, entitled “Banks, Artists, and Freemasons across Borders: The Banco de San Carlos, Goya, and Cabarrús,” at the session “Iberian Art in a Global Context” of the College Art Association annual conference in New York City on February 18, 2023.
