“Don’t worry, make art” is widely considered to be the manifesto of American Pop Art.

​

“Everyone understands an Andy Warhol piece, some people enjoy his works others hate them, but it’s meaning is understandable by everyone”. Considered today as the first icon of popular art, Warhol continues to attract thousands of visitors and to arouse curiosity and interest.
