Superstars

Kunsthalle Wien, Wien

The Celebrity Factor. From Warhol to Madonna

Departing from the figure of Andy Warhol, the Superstars exhibition sets out to explore both the phenomenon of artists as stars (Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp, Joseph Beuys, Markus Lüpertz, etc.), as well as the way in which images of media celebrities can serve as visual raw material.

Special areas are dedicated to ‘old stars’ such as Marilyn Monroe (the most famous actress of all time) and the Mona Lisa (the most famous painting in the history of art) and the way they are perceived in art.

The celebrity principle also holds true for industrial products. Nike, McDonalds, Marlboro and Coca Cola have all been transformed into global emblems, mostly by dint of their association with sports and entertainment personalities, whose appeal fans the fires of consumer passions.

Curators: Ingried Brugger (Kunstforum), Gerald Matt (Kunsthalle Wien), Thomas Mießgang (Kunsthalle Wien), Heike Eipeldauer (Kunstforum), Florian Steininger (Kunstforum)
