An Imaginary Meeting Between Art and Music
Imagined and curated by David Lawrence, author and exhibition curator, the exhibit titled The World According to Andy Warhol stages a unique encounter between two giants of art: Andy Warhol, the prince of Pop Art, and Sergei Rachmaninoff, the famous Russian composer. Lawrence, known for his talent in creating artistic dialogues between influential figures, now transports his audience into a world where the notes of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 resonate in perfect harmony with Warhol's vibrant photographs.
David Lawrence: a master of artistic dialogue
David Lawrence is no stranger to captivating his audience. Previously, he mesmerized audiences with the exhibition "Marilyn Monroe, America's Secret," where he revealed the hidden passions of the star for painting, literature, and poetry. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Pablo Picasso's disappearance, he also composed one hundred imaginary letters addressed to the cubist master, highlighting his talent for creating connections between historical personalities.

In addition to exhibiting dozens of photographs, the exhibition "The World according to Andy Warhol" will be a true invitation to explore the intricacies of Warhol's creative mind through the prism of Rachmaninov's classical music. Lawrence manages to weave a subtle connection between these two worlds, offering visitors a unique sensory and intellectual experience.
