ANDY WARHOL

The exhibition tells the story of Andy Warhol’s life, tracing the development of Pop Art in the bustling New York of the 1960s.

It is a journey through the work and life of the artist, a figure who has become iconic, allowing us to understand his world and his ability to influence the art and thinking of contemporary society. After an initial leap into the atmosphere of the 1950s and 1960s, the visitor has the opportunity to learn about the stages of Warhol’s career, from advertising graphic designer to successful artist. The exhibition is characterised by iconographic works, such as silkscreens of Marylin Monroe, Flowers and Campbell’s Soup, and the display of photographs from the Fred McDarrah and Anton Perich archive.

The exhibition also includes a reconstruction of the rooms of the ‘Factory’, the creative workshop located in Manhattan, a hotbed of music, film, design and fashion that became a reference point for Warhol and his circle.

The multi-room exhibition includes a didactic area designed to explore Warhol and his art through a variety of activities and proposals.
