"Karen Lerner" 1972 acrylic and silkscreen ink on linen by Andy Warhol (1928-1987) at the Columbus Museum of Art. Written near the painting: Karen Lerner (née Gundersen) was an actress, television journalist and producer, as well as the subject of several silkscreened portraits by Andy Warhol. At the time of this image, she was also married to the famed librettist Alan Jay Lerner, creator of celebrated musicals such as "My Fair Lady" (1956) and "Gigi" (1958). This was Alan Lerner's fifth marriage, and the couple's personal life was the subject of tabloid interest, making Karen an ideal subject for an artist like Warhol, who enthusiastically embraczed the emerging culture of celebrity. @columbusmuseum #andywarhol #warhol #karenlerner #karengunderson #silkscreen #columbusmuseumofart #exloringvalue #dailyritual #exploringvalueweek #lowcontrast (at Columbus Museum of Art)
