Andy Warhol, born on 6 August 1928 in Pittsburgh and died on 22 February 1987 in New York, is a leading figure in contemporary art. His work, rooted in mass culture, defies artistic convention by elevating everyday objects to the status of art. Far from a mere decorative surface, the bright colours and repeated motifs of his silkscreens conceal a critical reflection on consumer society, celebrity and mortality.

The exhibition brings together 71 works, divided into 171 pieces, from the Andy Warhol Museum in Medzilaborce, Slovakia, for the first time in France. This museum, founded in 1991 by his brother John Warhol, is rooted in the artist's family roots in the village of Miková. Thanks to its exceptional loans, notably from the Fondation Carmignac, this exhibition is an invitation to plunge into a profound reflection on Warhol's view of his era, an era that in many ways resembles our own.
