In the exhibit's catalog, Jim Edwards, curator of exhibitions at the Salt Lake Art Center, said, "Whatever else we may think of Andy Warhol, this excellent exhibition of his screenprints is evidence of an artist who fully understood the pulse of his own time."

The Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation is to be thanked for bringing "Andy Warhol's Dream America" to UMFA. Each of the 88 screenprints in the show thrill and entertain on many levels.

And if you're one of those who hates Warhol's art, visit the exhibit anyway and get up close to the work and really study it. It might make a difference.
