125 works by Andy Warhol to be exhibited at Istanbul Tulip Museum

The works of pop art pioneer Andy Warhol will be exhibited at Istanbul Tulip Museum.
The Istanbul Tulip Museum hosted the official opening of the exhibition "Andy Warhol - Istanbul", which will feature 125 works by Andy Warhol, one of the most influential representatives of 20th century modern art and a pioneer of the Pop Art movement. The exhibition will be open until March 30, 2024. 

Andy Warhol, American artist, graphic designer and film producer, left an unforgettable mark on the world of art and popular culture with his work and unique style, becoming one of the turning points in modern art. Warhol, one of the leading representatives of the Pop Art movement, is known for his radical approaches to the art world. He began his artistic career by creating commercial illustrations and eventually became one of the most colorful and vibrant figures of modern art. His work is based on the impressive and ordinary objects of American consumer culture. Repetition and reproduction play an important role in Warhol's art. For example, by repeating popular objects and celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, a can of Campbell's soup, and a bottle of Coca-Cola, he transformed them into works of art. His frequent use of everyday objects and famous symbols in his work helped to transform art from a privilege of the elite class to the domain of the masses. Warhol's sources of inspiration include American consumer culture, celebrities, newspaper headlines and Hollywood stars. 

The exhibition, tickets for which are on sale through Biletix and Passo, will be open to the public 7 days a week from 10:00 to 21:00 at Emirgan, Istanbul Tulip Museum.
