SUMMARY:Andy Warhol Pop Icon – exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Artika, in collaboration with the Department of Culture of the Municipality of Padua and the Mazzoleni Foundation, is organising the exhibition Andy Warhol Icona pop\nThe exhibition aims to investigate the poetics of the Pop Art genius, focusing on his representation of American society and culture. His body of work includes the brands that populated the advertising imagery widespread in the United States between the 1960s and 1970s: such as the iconic Campbell’s soup.\nAlongside the brands, Warhol depicts the icons of entertainment, who are given similar treatment to the products. The body of works includes the brands that populated the advertising imagery popular in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, such as the famous Campbell’s soup, and the faces of show business icons, from Mick Jagger to Sylvester Stallone to the legendary Marilyn.\nThe exhibition is divided into 6 thematic sections, starting with a biographical portrait of the great New York artist. 150 works including drawings, engravings, silkscreens, sculptures and postcards. A fast-paced journey into the eccentric world of Warhol, the pop icon par excellence.\nThe corpus of works includes the brands that populated the advertising imagery popular in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, such as the famous Campbell’s soup, and the faces of show business icons, from Mick Jagger to Sylvester Stallone, to the legendary Marilyn.\nAndy Warhol created his works following a precise pattern: visual isolation of the image, assimilation of advertising language, repetition and use of loud colours.\nThe process revealed the true nature of modernity: indifference, materialism, media manipulation, economic exploitation, unbridled consumerism, stardom and the creation of false needs and false aspirations in the masses.\nThe simplicity of Warhol’s images still guarantees their immediate usability today.\nThe iteration irrefutably recalls the repetitiveness of images employed by mass culture to sell goods and services. The assimilation to industrial marketing does not end with the repetition of the characteristics of advertising, but becomes even more profound since Warhol used the techniques of industrial production itself.\ntechniques of industrial production itself. The operation anonymised the figure of the artist in the production process, thus emphasising the absurdity of complete detachment from any emotional commitment.\nThe absolute icon is Marilyn, painted just after her suicide on 4 August 1962. Warhol’s work thus becomes a portrait of a saint against a background of gold leaf like a religious icon. Saint Marilyn, whose beauty and superficial cheerfulness was but a mask, because in reality unhappiness also belongs to the world of celebrities.\nThe first work with this subject was exhibited at Warhol’s first New York exhibition in the same year. The photograph used for all paintings and prints of the actress was taken in 1953 by Gene Kornman for the advertisement of the film Niagara.\nThe exhibition is curated by Simona Occioni. The exhibition is curated by Daniel Buso and Elena Zannoni.\nInformation\nHours: Wednesday to Friday: 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturday, Sunday and public holidays: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (ticket office closes 30 minutes before)\nOn weekends access is not guaranteed without a ticket purchased online.\nTickets: full price: € 12,00; reduced price: € 10,00 (students under 26, Fai members, Touring Club); reduced price groups: € 10,00 (min. 10 people); reduced price under 18: € 8,00; reduced price schools: € 6,00 (each) min. 10 – max. 25\nstudents per group + 2 free for accompanying teachers\nFree: under 6s, journalists with badge, tour guides with badge, accompanying teachers of classes\nCourtesy ticket: € 2.00 disabled persons.\nOpen ticket: € 14.00 (gift ticket to be converted by entering date and time later)\nDownload Brochure >>\n
