Warhol and Banksy

Until June 6, 2025, WeGil hosts the exhibition dedicated to Andy Warhol and Banksy, with over 100 works on loan from private collections and art galleries.

The exhibition

Warhol and Banksy on Display at WeGil Until June 6, 2025. Two seemingly distant artists come together. On one side, Warhol, with his works turned into true “consumer products” and his name elevated to the status of a brand; on the other, Banksy, a master of communication, who continues to make headlines by transforming street art into global events, with his anonymity itself becoming a kind of brand.
The exhibition focuses on a parallel analysis of the goals and strategies of these two figures who have shaped their public image, turning art into not just creation but also provocation and reflection.
At WeGil, over 100 works are on display, sourced from international private collections and renowned art galleries. Among the featured works are Banksy’s sensual Kate Moss, Warhol’s iconic Marilyn Monroe created after the actress’s death in 1962, Warhol’s reinterpretation of Queen Elizabeth II adorned with the royal diadem, and Banksy’s Monkey Queen, portraying the monarch as a monkey.
The exhibition also explores themes shared by the two artists, such as music, with over 50 items on display, including vinyl records signed by Warhol and CDs with covers designed by Banksy. Iconic pieces such as Warhol’s famous banana from the 1967 album cover of The Velvet Underground & Nico are showcased alongside Banksy’s Pulp Fiction, where John Travolta wields a banana inspired by Warhol’s symbol instead of a gun.
