It's all Andy all the time.
Andy Warhol's legendary and influential body of work is well-represented by more than 100 of his creations on display at The Brant Foundation in the East Village.
It's from the collection of art collector and businessman Peter Brant, who was an early patron, collaborator and friend of the Pop Art giant.

"He's been collecting art since he was in his twenties, and Warhol is one of the first artists he began to collect in depth," said Sabrina Marsalisi, director of education at The Brant Foundation.
The exhibition, called "Thirty Are Better Than One," gets its name from a 1963 piece featuring 30 scaled-down, silk-screened images of Leonardo Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa."
There are the "Campbell's Soup Cans" that are basically synonymous with Warhol. There are other Pop Art classics, plus some of his later works made before his death in 1987.
Warhol is everywhere, even in the elevator, in a space that was once a Con Ed substation on East 6th Street.
"You do have collectors that don't really show the breadth of their collection, but Peter has a mission to really share his collection with the public," Marsalisi said. "It's part of our mission to promote the appreciation of contemporary art and design and we do that through our exhibitions," said Marsalisi.
"Thirty Are Better Than One" will be on exhibit through July 31.
