“Six years in the planning, and at one point mooted to be the gallery’s inaugural show, the ticketed exhibition will be the first international exhibition presented by HOTA, since it opened two years ago. Cooper-Lavery acknowledges that a global pandemic and escalated freight costs played a role in its timeline.”

From an eMail Marketing HOTA Gold Coast:
In a world exclusive exhibition, Pop Masters: Art from the Mugrabi Collection, New York pairs Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, and Jean-Michel Basquiat alongside contemporary artists inspired by their legacy. Blurring the lines between fine art and consumer culture, together they paint a picture of Pop Art across the past 60 years.
In Australia for 15 weeks only, come together to discover a story of Pop and experience this incredible collection of works up close, direct from New York …”
I was highly impressed and would recommend this awesome exhibition to everyone visiting the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia.

More about Andy Warhol / written by ChatGPT:
Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was an American artist who is widely regarded as one of the most important figures of the pop art movement. He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and began his career as a commercial artist in the 1950s. In the 1960s, he turned his attention to fine art and began to produce a series of works that would become iconic examples of pop art.
Warhol’s work was characterized by its use of bright colors, bold graphics, and images appropriated from popular culture, including celebrities, consumer products, and mass media. He used a variety of media, including painting, printmaking, sculpture, and film, and is perhaps best known for his silkscreen prints of celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley.
Warhol was also a prolific filmmaker and producer, and his studio, The Factory, became a hub for artistic experimentation and social activity in New York City in the 1960s and 1970s. He was known for his bohemian lifestyle, his celebrity friends and associates, and his ironic and sometimes controversial approach to art.
Warhol’s work has had a lasting impact on the art world and on popular culture more broadly. His images and techniques have been widely imitated and appropriated, and his influence can be seen in the work of many contemporary artists. He is remembered as a visionary artist who challenged the boundaries of art and culture, and who helped to shape the artistic and social landscape of his time.

Pop Masters: Art from the Mugrabi Collection, New York
Six years in the making, and HOTA Gallery’s first international exclusive comes to a close. The past 15 weeks of Pop Masters: Art from the Mugrabi Collection, New York have absolutely flown by. The goosebump-inducing exhibition highlighted ‘that from New York to the Gold Coast, the 1960s to now, Pop Art’s ability to provoke and inspire endures.’ Harper’s Bazaar.
The world exclusive exhibition was a resounding success, attracting close to 45,000 people to HOTA Gallery – making it our largest paid art exhibition to date. Many were first time attendees to an event at HOTA and came from far and wide. 40% of visitors are from outside of the Gold Coast!
With a packed program of over 35 Pop Art inspired events, the HOTA precinct transformed into a larger-than-life Pop Art world.
It was a complex road to travel, dealing with negotiations, curation, and installation. Plus, a tough de-install is ahead given the complexity and value of the works. One piece has over 4500 pills that need to be individually cleaned and packaged!
Thanks to everyone that visited and helped us along the way on our journey to bring the legends of Pop Art to the Gold Coast.
What’s next for HOTA Gallery? From Sat 15 Jul, we’ll shift gears and you can explore Archie 100: A Century of the Archibald Prize. The landmark exhibition explores the rich history of the Archibald Prize, unearthing fascinating stories behind more than 100 carefully selected works. It reflects not just how artistic styles and approaches to portraiture have changed, but importantly, the changing face of our nation.
