The Painting Factory at MOCA

I attended the members opening of a new exhibit at MOCA call "The Painting Factory, Abstraction After Warhol".  The museum describes the exhibition as a recent transformation of abstract painting into one of the most dynamic platforms in contemporary art.  They wrote that Andy Warhol's Factory was one of the places where this fresh approach to abstraction was germinating....a haven for brilliant artistic misfits, but was also a laboratory where the historical and contemporary innovations in art and culture could be remixed and reconstituted.  They wrote that this occurred in the late 1970's and 1980's when Warhol refocused his painting with series like Shadows, Rorschachs, and Camouflage that is posted below.

The next paintings are by Josh Smith from 2009 and 2010

The final paintings shown here are from the DAS INSTITUT by  Keratin Bratsch, Adele Roder and others.
