Love is Enough: William Morris and Andy Warhol

This summer, take a once in a lifetime opportunity to see world famous masterpieces by two giants of art history, right in the heart of Birmingham. Curated by Turner Prize winning artist Jeremy Deller, Love is Enough brings together his two greatest artistic influences – William Morris and Andy Warhol. Making surprising connections between this unlikely pairing, the spectacular exhibition explores the artists’ common interests in mass production, popular culture and mythology. Highlights include Warhol’s iconic portraits of Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor, plus archival material including a signed photograph of Shirley Temple posted to a 13-year-old Andy in 1941. The centrepiece of the exhibition is Birmingham’s Holy Grail tapestries, produced by Morris & Co., and the only series in a UK public collection. Displayed together for the first time since 2008, don’t miss your chance to view these rare and light sensitive works.
