The solo exhibition "Radiant Shadows: Portraits of Joseph Beuys" by Andy Warhol has opened at the Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery in Seoul, presenting Warhol's celebrated portraits of the German artist Joseph Beuys.
This exhibition marks the first time since the 1980s that Warhol's portraits of Beuys are showcased with a solo focus, highlighting their historical significance and artistic value.
Andy Warhol met Joseph Beuys in 1979 at an exhibition in Düsseldorf, and their subsequent encounters inspired Warhol to create a series of portraits over a span of six years.

This exhibition provides a unique glimpse into the relationship between Warhol and Beuys, emphasizing their mutual influence and the impact they had on contemporary art.
"Radiant Shadows: Portraits of Joseph Beuys" runs through the end of the summer at Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery, inviting art enthusiasts to explore this captivating collection.
