From Warhol to Banksy
Street and Pop Icons at Castel Caldes in Val di Sole
From May 30th to September 20th, 2026, the historic halls of Castel Caldes will host an extraordinary journey among the icons that revolutionized contemporary art. Discover the dialogue between Warhol’s Pop Art and Banksy’s Street Art in the heart of Val di Sole.
The Pop Revolution enters Castel Caldes
The exhibition FROM WARHOL TO BANKSY - STREET AND POP ICONS transforms Castel Caldes into an exceptional stage to tell the story of how art broke the mold, moving beyond elite galleries to enter mass culture.
From the 1960s to the present day, Pop Art and Street Art have redefined the way we see the world. This exhibition highlights the unbreakable bond between these two movements: from the colorful and serial vision of Andy Warhol, the father of Pop culture, to the urban and provocative energy of modern Street Art.
The Artists: Great Masters on Display
The exhibition path unfolds through the works of legendary figures and revolutionary talents who transformed symbols, irony, and social criticism into a universal language. Throughout the halls of Castel Caldes, visitors can admire up close the genius of Andy Warhol and Keith Haring, pioneers of a visual revolution that intertwines with the urban energy of Banksy, Blek le Rat, and Invader.
The show celebrates the blending of genres by also hosting the visions of Obey (Shepard Fairey), Mr. Brainwash, Add Fuel, Mr. Savethewall, and the Miaz Brothers—artists who have successfully broken down the boundaries between the street and the gallery. From the silkscreens that celebrated 20th-century media icons to the visual languages born on city walls, art appropriates everyday codes to transform them into powerful tools for reflection on contemporary society.
Why visit the exhibition at Castel Caldes?
Visiting STREET AND POP ICONS means experiencing a world of contrasts: the solemnity of the castle's centuries-old stones meets the vibrancy of spray cans and advertising graphics. A unique opportunity to discover how Pop Art and Street Art share the same vocation: transforming familiar images into timeless icons.
