Warhol's works, whose subject was a famous film star, are now part of the canonical collection of multiple portraits by this master of pop art. Warhol himself maintained that his motives were purely commercial, but cultural scholars look for a deeper meaning in them, especially as they were inspired by the suicide of Marilyn Monroe in 1962. Reproduced repeatedly, the flat, garishly coloured images are read as an allegory for celebrities becoming a product of mass culture.

Three-dimensional depth of image

Screw Art is made up of thousands of screws which, screwed close together into a fir board but at different depths, create an extraordinary three-dimensional sculptural relief. Each of the 70,000 screw heads becomes a tiny steel canvas for the artists. The multitude of colours, clever design, fascinating chiaroscuro, and masterful precision give the works, inspired by the works of the great masters, a new dimension. Industrial screws turn out to be a graceful material in the hands of the young talents, and the steel rawness is transformed into delicate paintings.
