Andy Warhol
The name of American artist Andy Warhol is all but synonymous with Pop art, the movement he helped shape in the 1960s. He is known for his clever appropriation of motifs and images from popular advertising and commercials, which he integrated into graphic, vibrant works that utilized mass-production technologies such as printmaking, photography and silkscreening. Later in his career, Warhol expanded his oeuvre to include other forms of media, founding Interview magazine and producing fashion shoots and films on-site at the Factory, his world-famous studio in New York.
Born and educated in in Pittsburgh, Warhol moved to New York City in 1949 and built a successful career as a commercial illustrator. Although he made whimsical drawings as a hobby during these years, his career as a fine artist began in the mid-1950s with ink-blot drawings and hand-drawn silkscreens. The 1955 lithograph You Can Lead a Shoe to Water illustrates how he incorporated in his artwork advertising styles and techniques, in this case shoe commercials.
As a child, Warhol was often sick and spent much of his time in bed, where he would make sketches and put together collections of movie-star photographs. He described this period as formative in terms of his skills and interests. Indeed, Warhol remained obsessed with celebrities throughout his career, often producing series devoted to a famous face or an object from the popular culture, such as Chairman Mao or Campbell’s tomato soup. The 1967 silkscreen Marilyn 25 embodies his love of bright color and famous subjects.
Warhol was a prominent cultural figure in New York during the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s. The Factory was a gathering place for the era’s celebrities, writers, drag queens and fellow artists, and collaboration was common. To this day, Warhol remains one of the most important artists of the 20th century and continues to exert influence on contemporary creators.

- Erotellica, 1974, Lithograph, Pop, Nouveau RealismeBy Mimmo RotellaLocated in Milano, ITFrom a series of pop lithographs by Mimmo Rotella, published by Plura Edizioni, Italy, dating back to the early 1970s. Signed and numbered in pencil on the front. Edition 60/80 copies. Opera Proveniente da collezione privata, Italia. The piece is accompanied by a certificate of provenance issued by the gallery. Le condizioni dell'opera sono per lo più perfette: nessuna traccia del tempo, nessun graffio e margini perfettamente conservati. Il pezzo viaggia senza cornice per avere una spedizione più economica e sicura su richiesta dell'acquirente. Poiché il pezzo viaggia dall'Italia, si prega di considerare che l'espletamento delle pratiche di esportazione richiede un minimo di una settimana dal momento dell'acquisto. Mimmo Rotella, che ha rappresentato l'Italia alla Biennale di Venezia del 1964, è stato sperimentale fino in fondo: nelle sue poesie, nei suoi dipinti, nelle sue fotografie, nei suoi assemblaggi scultorei e nei suoi collage ha abbattuto le convenzioni, lasciando dietro di sé un corpus di opere stravaganti. All'inizio degli anni Cinquanta dipinge astrazioni geometriche, poi si allontana dal suo studio e si rivolge al mondo che lo circonda. Lì trovò i manifesti pubblicitari e cinematografici deteriorati, che strappò dalle pareti, attaccò alle tele e strappò ulteriormente per sviluppare composizioni semi-astratte dalle immagini dei mass media, che chiamò "doppi décollages". Grazie ai suoi collage, è stato associato a Raymond Hains, Jacques Villeglé e François Dufrêne...Category
