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.
