‘Warhol:Headlines’
Galleria nazionale d’arte moderna e contemporanea (GNAM), Rome
June 12th – September 9th 2012
As seen at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, USA, this exhibition focuses on the constant theme of Warhol’s relationship with the media, with tabloid themes and his mashups of news media from print to photography to cable TV.
The show begins with designs from the mid 50’s, moving on to paintings from the 60’s and on to print, photography and electrical media, with the final leg showing works carried out with the graffiti artists Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring.
