As Warhol continued to forge into filmmaking, he had established himself as "one of the most celebrated and well-known pop art figures to emerge from the sixties." The Pasadena Art Museum in Pasadena organized a major retrospective of his work in 1970, which traveled in the United States and abroad. In 1971, the exhibition was mounted at the Tate Gallery in London and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. The Whitney show distinctly featured Warhol's Cow Wallpaper (1966) as the backdrop for his paintings.
