The wonderful Aragonese Castle of\u00a0Otranto<\/a>, historically devoted to art exhibitions, hosted from May 27th to September 30th, 2012\u00a0about fifty works by Andy Warhol<\/strong>, undoubtedly the greatest interpreter of Pop Art, with the exhibition \u201cAndy Warhol. I want to be a machine\u00a0<\/em>\u201c.<\/p>\n

Foodismo<\/a>\u00a0wants to pay homage to this fantastic exhibition of Otranto, which was curated by Gianni Mercurio (known scholar of American art) and which has collected and brought to\u00a0Salento<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0about 50 works<\/strong>\u00a0 created by the great American artist with the technique of silkscreen printing, one of the main themes of his aesthetics, coming from private Italian collections.<\/p>\n

The Aragonese Castle of Otranto<\/strong>\u00a0has hosted in its walls the sturdy works of famous Warhol, such as Marilyn, Campbell\u2019s Soup, Electric Chair, Falce and Hammer, Dollar Sign and many others.<\/p>\n

The rooms of the Castle are not new to art: after hosting works by\u00a0Joan Mir\u00f2, Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dal\u00ec<\/strong>, they have also seen the predominant figure of the Pop Art movement, as well as one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century.<\/p>\n

More than 50 thousand people attended the exhibition, a resounding success for the Municipality of Otranto and the whole of Salento.<\/p>\n
