A never seen before Warhol: the first digital experimentations with Amiga

For the first time in Italy, thanks to Deodato Arte, a group of never seen before works by Warhol.
The exhibition celebrates the 30 year anniversary of the presentation of Amiga 1000 and recreates the original contest where the artist began to experiment with digital art and became fond of it.
On display there are two historical Amiga 1000 personal computers from 1985 in which the visitor can admire never seen before works elaborated by Warhol, 16 acetate works from the series Ladies and Gentlemen – which portray models and drag queens, hired for the project, posing like the celebrities known by Warhol – silkscreen prints, records, notes, as well as a rich documentation consisting of photographs, videos, magazines and invitation cards of Leo Castelli.
Along the exhibition there is the tribute by the photographer, printer and artist Giuliano Grittini, known for his partnerships with many artists among which there is Warhol, of whom for the occasion he printed and redesigned 10 computer art works through mixed techniques.
