 Gorizia, Italy

The exhibition Andy Warhol. Beyond Borders at the Palazzo Attems Petzenstein in Gorizia is one in a series of events held as part of the cross-border European Capital of Culture in Nova Gorica and Gorizia.

Featuring 180 works, the exhibition traces the career and life of one of the greatest protagonists of Pop Art, shedding light on the fundamental themes of his aesthetics.

The exhibition explores themes such as fashion, music, cinema and consumerism. The iconic Campbell's Soup, Flowers and Marilyn series, along with portraits of celebrities such as Jackie Kennedy, Mohammed Ali, Grace Kelly and Superman and Mickey Mouse, show how the artist was able to transform mass culture into timeless icons.

The exhibits come from European collections, as well as numerous magazines from the 1950s and a large issue of Interview magazine, dozens of vinyl record covers, videos and photographs.

The show also includes two multimedia installations: the legendary 1966 multimedia event - The Exploding Plastic Inevitable featuring Nico and Lou Reed's Velvet Underground; and the evocative Silver Clouds, a room populated by helium-inflated silver cushions floating in the air, creating a playful and interactive atmosphere, a symbol of Warhol's visionary genius.
