Andy Warhol's Seriality Explored in San Marino Exhibition
The Republic of San Marino has unveiled a significant exhibition dedicated to Andy Warhol, part of the 'Progetto Grandi Mostre' series, which previously showcased Banksy and Michelangelo. Curated by Maurizio Vanni and Emma Zanella, the display includes over 60 pieces sourced from private collections and institutions, such as the Andy Warhol Museum. Occupying both Palazzo SUMS and the Galleria Nazionale, the exhibition chronicles Warhol's artistic journey from 1949 to the 1960s.
