  Lanxess Commissions Unnatural Rubber Exhibition with Warhol Museum

 

  LANXESS and The Andy Warhol Museum reached out to 15 global artists and asked them for sketches and ideas of what they would do with synthetic rubber as a medium.

 

  PITTSBURGH, PA.- Leading specialty chemicals manufacturer LANXESS Corporation announced its plans to celebrate synthetic rubber in a very artistic way in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Museum, one of the four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, and 15 well-known global artists.

 

  This year marks the 100th anniversary of a revolutionary invention. On September 12, 1909, Fritz Hofmann received a patent for the “industrial production of synthetic rubber,” which transferred to LANXESS in 2004.

 

  LANXESS and The Andy Warhol Museum reached out to 15 global artists and asked them for sketches and ideas of what they would do with synthetic rubber as a medium. A panel of judges including both scientists and artists chose the winning piece. Hank Willis Thomas and Ryan Alexiev collaborated on their submission and proposed the work entitled, “Wheel of Fortune.”

 

  The Unnatural Rubber exhibition will be on view at The Andy Warhol Museum from October 18, 2009 through January 31, 2010 and then travel to other museums and LANXESS locations around the world.
