\u201cInside Andy Warhol\u201d <\/strong>is coming! \u00a0An Apulian that holds an amazing history, is going to host a selection of original artworks, by one of the noble founders of contemporary art, and supported by video material, to offer a complete picture of Andy Warhol\u2019s life and works (Pittsburgh, 6 August 1928 \u2013 New York, 22 February 1987).<\/p>\n

It is all about identity: as relevant as ever due to its many contemporary adaptations. The exhibition, edited by historian and art critic, Maurizio Vanni, and coordinated by curator and art critic, Lorenzo Madaro, will open on June 22 on the noble floor of the Charles V Castle in Monopoli.<\/p>\n

Created and arranged by MetaMorfosi<\/strong> Eventi<\/strong> in collaboration with MostreLab<\/strong> and Wall Drawings<\/strong>, and with the sponsorship of the Municipality of Monopoly, the exhibition counts numerous originals by Andy Warhol, including his Campbell Soups<\/strong>, Marilyns<\/strong>, Maos<\/strong> as well as some videos starring the artist.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The aim of the exhibition \u2013 open until 31\/08\/2022 \u2013 is to look beyond his artwork and into Warhol\u2019s way of thinking, moods and inner level of commitment that influenced his creations.<\/p>\n

\u201cA fabulous journey,\u201d Maurizio Vanni explains \u201crepresented by 33 of his works that made him famous, thanks to a peculiar way of communicating. How much truthfulness and fiction is there in his works and statements? What is the role of the \u201cmasks\u201d he loved to play with, matching the different steps of his professional journey?\u201d<\/p>\n

On one hand, his troubled childhood and adolescence: his shyness and difficulties in communicating, together with his unpleasant physical traits, mostly due to his poor health, caused him to be ostracized by his school mates and family; On the other hand, his abilities in drawing, his natural sense of aesthetics and the powerful desire of innovation combined with the ambition of being a star system artist.<\/p>\n

Besides four iconic Marilyns <\/strong>from 1967, the exhibition includes less famous and publicly shown artwork, such as the two Cataloupes <\/strong>from 1979 and a self-portrait<\/strong> of the artist, a silk-screen printing on paper from 1977. Eye catching also are two silk-screen prints on paper of a young Miguel Bos\u00e8 <\/strong>from 1983. Moreover, his eclectic artistic genius is testified by the original covers created for John Cale and The Rolling Stones\u2019 LPs in 1981 and 1982.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cHis artistic choices, technical experiments, portrayed people and objects\u201d, the exhibition\u2019s curator explains, \u201cmeant way more than his words. Warhol guessed, before many others, what the American Sixties were meant to become: a universal microcosm that would have represented the events around the whole world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMonopoli is proud to host some meaningful Andy Warhol\u2019s works, in order to delight both citizens and tourists, of multiple generations, with his brilliant art.\u201d, says Monopoli\u2019s mayor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis exhibition is an opportunity to be among the Italian cities that host important art shows. Thirty-five years after his death, Warhol\u2019s visionary thought comes to life again through his extraordinary works, which come from from private collections. A huge heritage, from an eccentric artist, that changed the history of art.\u201d, says Rosanna Perricci, Monopoli\u2019s Cultural Assessor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe works of Warhol exhibition is both a valuable cultural event and a smart way to enhance the cultural places of the city, in order to promote Monopoli on national and international territory and to attract tourism.\u201d, affirms Cristian Iaia, Monopoli\u2019s Tourism Assessor.<\/p>\n
