ANDY WARHOL AND THE MEDIA

Rome’s National Gallery of Modern Art is exhibiting a large number of works by the great American artist, the icon of Pop Art. His paintings-serigraphs (from Marilyn Monroe and soup cans to Elvis and dollar bill logos) became symbols of American art and culture. The works being presented in this large retrospective exhibition “Andy Warhol Headlines – Andy Warhol and the Media” are centred upon his linguistic symbols. Warhol is being represented at the National Gallery of Modern Art by one of his “political still lifes”: Hammer and Sickle (1972), one of the works from his Hammer and Sickle series inspired by Italy. The GNAM exhibit is being presented in collaboration with the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., the Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt and The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The show is curated by Molly Donovan with the collaboration of John J. Curley, Anthony E. Grudin, John G. Hanhardt, Calie Angell and Matt Wrbican.

Rock in Roma: Radiohead

Rock in Roma is hosting Radiohead for the first of one of the most anticipated concerts in Italy for this summer of 2012. This famous Brit rock band delighted the Roman audience for a few minutes on 1 May 1995 during the Mega-concert. Radiohead released its first single – Creep – in 1992. The song was initially a fiasco but attained worldwide success after the band’s debut album Pablo Honey was released.  Radiohead had a very solid reputation by the time their third album came out, based upon a more expansive sound and the recurring theme of modern alienation. OK Computer (1997) has been acclaimed by critics as being one of the landmark records of the 1990’s. The band released its eighth album, The King of Limbs, in 2011.
