We arrived in time to Caixa Forum in Madrid. No much traffic, Thanks God!!!
           After leaving our bags in lockers,
                 we had a look in the shop
Andy Warhol exhibition was waiting for us!!!!
An installation was about experimenting gravitity and clouds in the sky

He suffered an attack by Valerie Solanas, an American radical feminist writer, in 1968. She shot him three times, but Warhol survived this accident.

      Death as a recurrent topic in his paintings
Original painting, done with his own urine, to ridicule Abstract Expressionism, a pictorial movement at that time in US

One his most famous paintings, Marilyn Monroe
As a professional advertiser, he made art out of daily products, like Brillo soap
A real party at Warhol´s place, listening to The Velvet Underground, band he supported
An incredible building now is what Caixa Forum bought to become a cultural center; an old electrical power station
The stairs reminded me the ones in MOMA in New York
