These pancake pillows are just some of the unusual pieces to be featured in "Excessibility."

The show, which depicts luxury and celebrity accessibility is subtitled, “Access 2 Excess” and features works from 1939 to 2013, including Banksy, Ed Ruscha, Sol Lewitt and Andy Warhol. VonBastiaans and McCarthy will also display their new pancake pillows.

“Excessibility” will run Oct. 10 through Nov. 10 in the Lillian Davis Hogan Galleries, located in the Toner Student Center.

A reception for the show will be held 4:30 to 6 on Thursday, Oct. 10. Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, and the show is free and open to the public.
