His instantly recognizable paintings and serigraph prints are embedded in the modern imagination. Warhol’s uncanny ability to mirror and capitalize on America’s culture of display and consumption made him one of the twentieth century’s most influential and controversial artists. Along with notoriety came criticism, which escalated as Warhol moved into his “business art” phase in the 1970s and 1980s. Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century originated in this period. The suite focuses on historical figures Warhol saw as “Jewish geniuses.” The idea for the series originated from Warhol’s art dealer Ronald Feldman, who thought it would be marketable to Jewish collectors. Warhol did not invest much interest in his subjects, stating only that he liked their faces and was intrigued by their celebrity status. Although some critics considered them superficial, the Ten Portraits exemplify how, in Warhol’s view, celebrity is defined in consumer culture. Learn more about Warhol’s portraits by listening to the Skirball Teen Council Audio Tour as you explore the gallery! read less

The Jewish Federation’s Tour de Summer Camps is a community cycling and hiking event that will raise significant funds to send more of our kids to Jewish summer camp, helping them build a lifelong connection to Jewish identity and values. Cyclists and adventurers of all kinds (from beginner to expert level) will take on the challenge of a 18-mile, 36-mile, 62-mile (Metric Century), or 100-mile (Century) ride and ask friends, family, and coworkers to sponsor them in their fundraising efforts! Anyone can participate – young and old – but you must be 16 years or older to ride. If you are under 16, will be out of town or don’t ride a bike consider being a Virtual Rider or participating in the 1, 3 or 6 mile hike. The goal of Tour de Summer Camps is to provide means for every child who wants to attend Jewish summer camp to do so. All proceeds from the ride will support summer camp scholarships to give more kids that lifelong connection to Judaism that only Jewish summer camp can provide, which will in turn help us ensure the Jewish future—one of The Jewish Federation’s top priorities.
