100 Warhols, an Overview: Painting, Drawing, Collage, Unique Work on Paper, Trial Proofs and Edition Prints: AT OVERTURE MIAMI - DEC. 4, 2012

100 WARHOLS AT OVERTURE MIAMI - DEC. 4, 2012
Unprecedented in scope and depth in the history of art fairs, this monumental selling exhibition is designed to be an accessible and educational survey of the most important artist of the second half of the 20th century.

Presented with cultural partner Taglialatella Galleries and in association with ARTS FOR A BETTER WORLD, the exhibition celebrates Andy Warhol’s career and includes work in a variety of media from the artist’s early years to his final paintings.

Developed around six distinct themes; Flowers, Animals, Politics, Icons, Early Years and Late Years, the exhibition includes iconic works and a great many works never before exhibited to the public.

Exhibition highlights are many, and traverse a great spectrum of time and sensibility. Highlights include the rarely exhibited Flash November 22, 1963 portfolio in its entirety. Warhol created the portfolio in 1968 in response to the national trauma of the Kennedy assassination and to the then unprecedented international media coverage of the event. Additional features include a rare, large scale portrait of 1980’s icon Debby Harry, and a very intimate portrait of Warhol’s beloved Dachshund, Archie.

Columba Bush Launches 2012-2013 Arts for Life! Scholarship Program

Tallahassee, FL - Columba Bush and the Foundation for Excellence in Education today launched the 2012-2013 Arts for Life! Program.

Annually, Arts for Life! recognizes 25 graduating high school seniors from across Florida for outstanding achievement in the arts. Each recipient receives a $1,000 cash scholarship toward their pursuit of the arts in higher education.

Columba Bush, Florida's First Lady from 1999-2007, is a passionate advocate for the arts and arts education. In 1999, she established Arts for Life!, a scholarship program to recognize the creativity and artistic talents of high school students throughout Florida. To date, the program has awarded scholarships to more than 325 gifted high school seniors representing the visual arts, dance, drama, music and creative writing.

To be considered for an Arts for Life! scholarship, students must:

* Be a graduating high school senior from a public, private or home education program in Florida.

* Submit a completed application, a brief essay explaining "How the arts have positively influenced my life" and a sample of their work in the visual arts, dance, drama, music or creative writing.

A committee of judges for each of the five disciplines, comprised of respected experts, reviews and scores the students' essays and work samples. Scholarships are given to the top scorers in each discipline and will be awarded in the Spring of 2013.

To apply for a 2012-2013 Arts for Life! scholarship, interested students should visit www.ArtsforLifeAward.org for an official application and more information on additional requirements.
