Coinciding with Tate Modern’s major Andy Warhol retrospective (March 13 – 6 September 2020), Tate Eats has created ‘Flavours from
exhibition. It’s the first time the institution has exhibited Warhol in depth in two decades.
The artist had a curious relationship with food. ‘I was particularly interested in the social pressures Warhol felt when eating out, along with food as a recurring motif in his work and life,’ Atashroo explains. ‘My menu is based around this whilst incorporating a number of culinary anecdotes I uncovered during my research.’It’s widely known, for example, that Warhol had an insatiable sweet tooth. He was a fan of fruit , opulent desserts, and little else.
The chef keeps things light with a witty savoury menu that captures Warhol’s indifference to conventional eating. ‘Tuna Fish Disaster’ – inspired by the artist’s 1963 silkscreen print depicting the story of two ladies who died from a tainted can of tuna; while the Edie Beale-esque ‘Pâté for the Cat’ – a reference to a quote stating that Warhol’s ‘hairdresser’s cat ate his leftover pâté at least twice per week.
You can dine like Warhol during the exhibition’s season-long run in the museum’s Level 9 restaurant. But if ‘Tuna Fish Disaster’ doesn’t take your fancy, perhaps Warhol’s Favourite Frozen Hot Chocolate will, also available throughout
