The exhibition will be on display until 22 May 2016. There are works of art by ten artists to admire, but especially the work of Andy Warhol is very extensively present. And also very impressive.

Pop art got big in the fifties. In all its 'volatility' and 'disposable' it was a direct attack on consumer society and the products that symbolize it.

Andy Warhol

Illustrator, designer, photographer, producer and filmmaker Andy Warhol made the most of all the resources and media available at the time to create and distribute his artistic work. His first series of thirty-two paintings featuring Campbell's soup cans revolutionized the art world. The legend Andy Warhol was born and made him the leader of American pop art.

"Very rare that so much of Warhol's work can be seen."

In addition to art by Andy Warhol, the exhibition in the medieval Castle of Waroux includes a collection of works by Eduardo Paolozzi, Fernand Flaush, James Rosenquist, Keith Haring, Mel Ramos, Pol Bury, Richard Hamilton, Robert Indiana and Roy Lichtenstein. The exhibition is spread over two floors in the castle, but almost the entire second floor is occupied by the work of Andy Warhol. It's very rare that so much of Warhol's work can be seen in Belgium, and even at such a beautiful location. Moreover, the castle is surrounded by a beautiful domain.

Beer

If you visit the exhibition, it's also recommended to taste the Castle Beer Waroux. The beer is a copper-colored beer that's brewed with passion, you will taste that immediately. The subtle and slightly caramelised malt gives the beer a full amber flavor. And the combination of malt and hops gives the Castle Beer Waroux a sublime bitterness.
