13 Most Beautiful…Songs for Andy Warhol's Screen Tests

About this event

“13 Most Beautiful…Songs for Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests” is a theatrical and cinematic concert experience featuring a baker’s dozen of Pop Art pioneer Andy Warhol’s “Screen Test” films — made in the mid-1960s to spotlight his self-made Superstars and the era’s cultural icons in larger-than-life close-ups — presented with live musical accompaniment by dream-pop duo Dean & Britta and their band. This special program initially was commissioned in 2008 by The Andy Warhol Museum and Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, and since then has been presented on rare occasions around the world. The Bob Dylan Center will present the regional premiere. Over the course of 13 warmly enveloping songs — including originals like “Knives from Bavaria” and “Herringbone Tweed,” and a gorgeous cover of Bob Dylan’s “I’ll Keep It With Mine” — Dean & Britta create the perfect guitar-bass-drums-vocals soundtrack to these hypnotic films, each one chosen for its striking visuals that work in symbiotic tandem with the pristinely played music. Part rock concert, part film screening, part archeological dig unearthing New York City’s 1960s art scene, “13 Most Beautiful…Songs for Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests” is an unforgettable night at the theater.
