Although young, the not-quite-thirty artist Conrad Ventur is making waves with his exhibit “Fragments of Fame.” The exhibit is being shown at the Andy Warhol Museum located in Pittsburgh and is comprised of various types of mixed media.
Disco balls, footage of Marlene Dietrich and archived Andy Warhol screen tests are all a part of this tribute to all things 60s and 70s. Warhol would be so proud.
Ventur is also the founder of USELESS Magazine and has worked with everyone from Lou Doillon to The MisShapes.
