@ariaartgallery is pleased to announce a new exhibition featuring iconic works by Andy Warhol face-to-face with contemporary artists. Curated by Nataša Radojević, the exhibition opens on May 22, 2025, at 7:00 PM in the gallery’s historic space in the heart of Florence.
Through a carefully selected body of work, the exhibition explores key themes of contemporary art introduced by the father of Pop Art—reimagined and reinterpreted through the lens of today’s artists, including, Daniele Sigalot, Thelonious Stokes, Carole Feuerman, Veljko Vučković, Salustiano, Milija Čpajak, Sossio, and the artistic duo @labotiv.
The exhibition unfolds across the various spaces of Aria Art Gallery, each dedicated to a unique conceptual thread, addressing themes such as identity, celebrity, consumer culture, the animal world, and the aesthetics of repetition and surface. This curatorial approach sparks a lively and reflective intergenerational dialogue, inviting audiences to question cultural narratives that continue to resonate today.
Andy Warhol did more than transform the image of everyday life into an icon—he multiplied it, amplified it, and overloaded it until it became an integral part of our visual neural system. The Factory, his legendary studio, was not just a place of production; it was a true cultural machine, functioning simultaneously as a film set, editorial office, and ongoing happening—an electric, transversal energy that fused image, music, performance, celebrity, and consumption into one dazzling surface.
Among the exhibited works is a powerful portrait on canvas of Caroline Wiess Law, philanthropist and art collector, silkscreened in black against a burnt orange background. Commissioned in the 1970s, the piece reflects both the refined elegance of its subject and Warhol’s mature mastery of color and composition, capturing the glamour of an era and the synergy between artist and patron.
