The exhibit also delves into Warhol's darker themes -- repeated pictures of Jackie Kennedy on the days surrounding the President's assassination. He also had some fascination with death in general, as several pieces dealt with suicide, electric chairs and weapons.

The exhibit also included some pencil sketches, some pen and ink, and some unusual looking piictures using golf leaf. Certainly a fine representation of his body of work. And, in keeping with Warhol's enigmatic and distant personality, the exhibit left me feeling a bit empty. Neat to see upclose and personal, but looks just as good on a coffee mug.

In the main lobby, a very small gift shop sold a small amount of Warhol stuff. Post cards [$1.00], refrigerator magnets [$2.95], address books [$6.95], switchplates [$10.00], stationery [$10.95], and an exclusive book of the MOCA exhibit, [$45.00]. Instead of this one, go to the main MOCA gift shop -- which has a ton more selection, along with other interesting gifts.

While getting our checked in bags back, I asked the staff there, where we might go for lunch beyond the museum restaurant -- which seemed a bit pizzacotta for our tastes.

She explained that our tickets to the Warhol exhibit also included a free shuttle and admission to the Geffen Contemporary in Little Tokyo. "You should go have lunch in Little Tokyo and you can walk around there" -- we did just that. The shuttle picked us up right in front of MOCA, and in 10 minutes we were dropped off at the converted warehouse that is the Geffen.
