The Andy Warhol works are a long-term loan from the National Gallery of Australia with support from the Australian Government as part of Sharing the National Collection initiative. The partnership will see the Wanneroo Regional Gallery display over 50 artworks by Andy Warhol over a two-year period, with a small selection of pieces on display and rotated every three months.  

The first rotation of Warhol's Electric chairs series is currently exhibited in a small section of the Gallery to the right side of the City’s main exhibition.

Warning

This exhibition contains imagery that may cause distress. 

Andy Warhol’s Electric Chair series may be disturbing or upsetting to some viewers due to its content being associated with capital punishment and death.
