About Revolver Gallery

Revolver Gallery’s touring exhibitions include the following:

Warhol: A Different Idea of Love

This Vancouver exhibition drew more than 50,000 visitors in just two months. It opened in early 2015 inside Yaletown’s Maison Ai warehouse and brought together artworks from Revolver Gallery’s collection, private owners, and the Andy Warhol Foundation. The show featured portraits of Liz Taylor, rare silkscreens of Muhammad Ali, and Warhol’s Shoes prints. At that time, it became the largest Warhol exhibition in Canadian history. Later that same year, Revolver Gallery surpassed it with Andy Warhol Revisited: A Mirror For Today in Toronto.

Andy Warhol Revisited: A Mirror For Today

Gallery founder Ron Rivlin curated this major exhibition in Toronto’s Yorkville neighborhood. It showcased more than 120 works from Revolver Gallery’s collection and was strengthened by loans from the Andy Warhol Foundation, Christie’s, museums, and private collectors. Moreover, visitors experienced a mobile app and audio tour that guided them through iconic artworks such as the Campbell’s Soup prints, Marilyn Monroe silkscreens, Mick Jaggers, and John Gottis. In its first two months, the exhibition welcomed more than 50,000 visitors. It continued for six months, running from July 1 to December 31, 2015.

Andy Warhol Revisited: Thirty Years Later

Revolver Gallery’s largest exhibition, Andy Warhol Revisited: Thirty Years Later, coincided with the 30th anniversary of Warhol’s death. The show ran in Los Angeles from February 11 to August 27, 2017. It featured more than 200 works in rotation, including complete series such as Electric Chairs, Ladies and Gentlemen, Endangered Species, Myths, Ten Portraits of Jews, along with famous works like Marilyn Monroe, Campbell’s Soup, and Keith Haring’s rare Andy Mouse portfolio. Warhol’s own 1974 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow—owned by Revolver Gallery—was also displayed for the first time. Ron Rivlin described the exhibition as one that “encapsulates the artist’s fascination with glamour, fame, money, celebrity, and tragedy.”

Andy Warhol: Cars from the Mercedes Benz Art Collection

This exhibition opened on July 23, 2022, at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. It showcased Warhol’s Cars paintings and screenprints, which Mercedes-Benz commissioned in 1986 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the motor car. The show placed Warhol’s automotive works alongside several significant Mercedes-Benz vehicles. In addition, it marked the first time in more than 30 years that the Cars series had been shown in the United States. Warhol’s 1974 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow, on loan from Revolver Gallery, also appeared in the exhibition.
