The exhibition Andy Warhol. The Bomb, curated by Gianluca Ranzi and Doris Von Drathen, offers a smart selection of thirty works, rigorously certified by the Andy Warhol Foundation, with unique samples of serigraphs and a sculpture. The exhibition retraces the important moments within the artistic career of Warhol, from the 1960s to the 1980s.
As the ultimate icon of modern times, Warhol is the most effective representative of a rampant as well as very brazen image of mass culture, which is plagiarized by the dollar symbol, corroded by boxed detergents, which mutters slangs and chews canned soups, peremptorily combined with the fizzy taste of Coca-Cola, or even more which is caught amazed by the umpteenth victim of a car accident or of war, or is filmed while frightened of the death penalty.
