1980, Andy Warhol, The Marx Brothers (from the Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century) (special exhibition) -- Bermuda National Gallery
From the museum label:
The Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century portfolio was released in 1980 and exhibited at the Jewish Museum in New York that same year. Alongside the Marx Brothers, the series included portraits of Golda Meir, Sarah Bernhardt, Louis Brandeis, Martin Buber, Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, George Gershwin, Franz Kafka and Gertrude Stein, whom Warhol referred to as "Jewish Geniuses."
The portraits were exhibited at the Jewish Museum once again in 2008 in Warhol's Jews: 10 Portraits Reconsidered. In reviewing the exhibition for The New York Times that same year, Ken Johnson points out: "The issue for Warhol is not what his subjects did and not Jewishness in general. His real subject was fame. He was interested in famous people simply because they were famous."
