The Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers-New Brunswick presents *Andy Warhol: On Repeat*, an exhibition featuring nearly 70 black-and-white photographs and color Polaroids from its collection—some shown for the first time—alongside a suite of films on loan from the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. Organized by chief curator Jeremiah William McCarthy, the show runs from February 11 to July 31, 2026, in the Voorhees Gallery, and examines repetition and duration as central forces in Warhol’s art, with large-scale projections, vertical Polaroid towers, and bean bags encouraging visitors to linger.
This exhibition matters because it offers a rare, focused look at Warhol’s photography and early durational films, moving beyond his iconic pop imagery to explore how seriality and overexposure shape perception and identity. By framing Warhol’s work as a prescient response to today’s media-saturated landscape, the show connects historical art practices to contemporary issues of attention and distraction, while also highlighting the Zimmerli’s own collection and its curatorial voice.
