Pop Art Abstraction: Andy Warhol: Icons of Pop Art

13 Janvier - 18 Mars 2022

This exhibition celebrates the visionary work of Andy Warhol, one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Known for his bold use of mass media imagery and consumer culture, Warhol revolutionized the art world with his exploration of celebrity, consumerism, and repetition.

Central to this exhibition are some of Warhol's most iconic pieces, including the famous Marilyn Monroe and Mao Zedong series. Warhol's Marilyn prints capture the glamour of the Hollywood star, transforming a media image into a timeless symbol of fame. In his Mao portraits, Warhol merges the worlds of pop culture and politics, creating a striking juxtaposition between the figure of the Chinese leader and the commercial techniques of mass production.

Through these works, Warhol redefined what art could be, blurring the lines between high art and everyday life. His use of bright colors, repetition, and commercial techniques reflects both his fascination with mass media and his desire to challenge traditional notions of art.

This exhibition invites you to experience Warhol's unique perspective on fame, politics, and consumer culture, exploring how his bold imagery continues to resonate in the world today.
