From staff reports
USC Beaufort is hosting a closing reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m, Thursday, Aug. 31, at 1106 Carteret Street in Beaufort to meet artist Madelyn Roehrig, artist of the show “Andy: Figments” at USCB Sea Island Center Gallery
This exhibit explores the afterlife of Andy Warhol and his community of gravesite visitors and performers. Fans make the pilgrimage to Warhol’s grave in Bethel Park, Pa., and leave notes and items associated with the icon. Since 2004, Roehrig has documented this outpouring of love and contextualized it with essays by herself and guest writers, exploring the outpouring of devotion to the artist, almost 40 years after his death.
Roehrig is the author of the 2020 book, “Andy Can You Hear Us?” and director of film project “Figments: Conversations with Andy.”
