By looking closely at issues of sexuality in Andy Warhol’s art, photography, film and writing, scholar Richard Meyer proposes a ‘Queer Warhol’ whose legacy continues to shape the work of LGBT artists on the global stage.

Richard Meyer is Robert and Ruth Halperin Professor of Art History at Stanford University and the author, most recently, of What Was Contemporary Art? and co-author with Catherine Lord of Art and Queer Culture.

After Meyer’s talk, there’s Andy and me, a panel discussion with Australian contemporary artists addressing the influences of both Andy Warhol and their queer identities on their artistic practices. Hosted by Barry Keldoulis, CEO of Sydney Contemporary, the panel features artists Deborah Kelly, Josh Feeney, Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran and Claudia Nicholson.
