The prophetic character of the art of Andy Warhol: 130 works that illustrate the profound transformation of the relationship between art and society, and of the creative and productive processes of art itself.
Since the death of Andy Warhol we have seen a continuous tribute to his work, an unparalleled outpouring of interest. His art, characterized by an orientation toward the reproduction of images to the point of near obsession – Twenty Marilyns, Campbell’s Soup Can – has survived the Pop era that generated it and remains a timely presence in many forms of communication and artistic expression, especially in the most widespread of all: advertising. The catalogue of the exhibition held in Catania analyzes 130 works, including Flowers, Jackie and Portrait of Marcel Proust, while confirming, through interesting critical contributions, the prophetic character of Warhol and the profound transformation of the relationship between art and society, as well as the creative and productive processes of art itself.
