Andy Warhol exhibition, Rome
until the 7th january 2007 is taking place at the Chiosco del Bramante in central Rome a unique exhibition dedicated to Andy Warhol. The exhibition was realized thanks to the cooperation of The Andy Warhol Museum of Pittsburgh and The Andy Warhol Fundation of New York.
Warhol is an icon of the american culture of the sixties and seventies and was originary from Pittsburgh, and died at age 59 in 1987. He was a multi-art man who was a photographer, writer and painter, but also a movie director and an entertainer of the New York jet society.
When he set up Factory he was to be the pioneer of a new working method, and he launched the Pop Art movement in the US in the fifties. His probably most famous portrait is of Marilyn Monroe.
His paintings represent the relationship between art and life, and art and death in the constant beseeching of happiness. Over 100 paintings are exposed with also some documentaries such as photos and films, that help us to understand and get closer to the genius.
There is a lot more to see in Rome, so take your time and stay a few days in the heart of the Eternal city, and book a comfortable hotel in rome.
