3) A continuing exhibit at the Warhol Museum, 13 Most Wanted Men: Andy Warhol and the 1964 World’s Fair, chronicles a minor crisis the artist created at that fair, which was held in New York City. Warhol had been commissioned to provide art work for the New York Pavilion. What he chose to do was enlarge front- and side-view mug shots of 13 most wanted criminals from a NYPD booklet, forming a massive panel on the pavilion’s exterior. Fair officials were none too happy about this controversial art and covered it with silver paint. Warhol revived his piece that same year by producing 20 Most Wanted Men paintings on smaller canvases, using the same screens with which he made the World’s Fair installation. 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Runs through Jan. 4. 117 Sandusky St. North Shore.
