Andy Warhol – Sixty Last Suppers @ Salone Milan 2017

Marking the 30th anniversary of the arrival in Milan of Andy Warhol’s The Last Supper debut in Milan, the Museo del Novecento in collaboration with Gagosian Gallery presented ” The Sixty Last Suppers” a powerful work by Warhol, which approaches the scale of Leonardo’s original

It was the last of a series of repeated series of series including Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and Mona Lisa, the painting focuses on the image of an architecturally framed space – the dining room – rather than on a single iconic figure.

The presentation anticipates the 2019 project called “Milan and the Legacy of Leonardo 1519-2019,” which will celebrate 500 years since da Vinci’s death.
