À LA FRANÇAISE

PARIS (AFP) — Paris is tipping its hat to pop art legend Andy Warhol, whose portraits of movie stars, world leaders, soup cans and other American icons made him one of the most emulated artists of his time."Warhol's Wide World", an exhibition opening at the Grand Palais this month is already shaping up as one of the year's top art happenings, with some of the 150 works coming out of private collections for the first time. It also marks the first time that a French museum showcases Warhol since his death in 1987, bringing a French perspective to the works of the quintessential American artist, said curator Alain Cueff.
