Andy Warhol is an emblem of the America culture of sixties and seventies. He was painter, ad designer, illustrator, sculptor, cinema producer, entertainer of the New York fashionable life, but most of all a great communicator. At the beginning of sixties, in an uncontested art capital New York, Warhol experiments with his project of making the artistic practice “mechanical”.
The exhibition is at Castello Aragonese di Otranto, from 27 may to 30 september 2012 – open everyday – for more info www.warholotranto.it
