Andy Warhol... in the city

By the legendary portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Liz Taylor, Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger and Ingrid Bergman to the spectacular Campbell’s Soup, through lithographs, serigraphs and offset signed, never exposed or exposed in very rare occasions. Among these “Cats”, the unique work dedicated to cats that the artist gave to his mother.

Until July 19, the ancient and picturesque cloister of St. Augustine to the Mint, set ad hoc along the Corso Umberto I of Naples, will host the exhibition “Andy Warhol… in the city”. A setting that gives the city of Partenope well 103 images in the spirit of the newyorker pop artist that has always invested the heart of this metropolis.

For the occasion, the cloister of St. Augustine has had a make-up and thanks to a fast and effective restructuring is returned to the city in all its glory. From there, the Spanish Inquisition and the rebellion was celebrated posthumous trial Masaniello. In time also it had the function of factory of ideas, movements and rebellions, such as the one that has implemented a few centuries after Andy Warhol in art, that already the first time I set foot in Naples noticed a number of similarities with New York. Between the two cities there is in fact more than one element in common: the latitude, the sea, the initial letter N and the significance of New York and Neapolis that, in either case, is for the new city.
