Rare musical mementos from Warhol’s network, such as an autographed Michael Jackson guitar, Muhammad Ali’s heavyweight champion belt, and vintage photos of iconic figures like Liz Taylor and The Beatles, will be featured in the collection.
Curated by Nada Ghandour, ‘The Glam Factory’ aims to provide visitors with a profound commentary on consumerism and celebrity culture through Warhol’s art. The exhibition promises to offer a unique opportunity to explore Warhol’s early career as an illustrator, his commercial art, and his journey to becoming an iconic artist, showcasing self-portraits, magazine covers, and silk sketches.

The immersive environment aims to offer a glimpse into Warhol’s fixation with the ‘Rich and Famous’ and his significant influence on modern art and society.
