From May 30 to September 20, 2026, the historic halls of Castel Caldes are transformed into a unique exhibition space where contemporary art comes to life through a striking dialogue between two seemingly distant creative worlds. In the heart of the Val di Sole, visitors can explore a visual journey connecting Pop Art and Street Art.
A historic castle meets contemporary art
The exhibition “FROM WARHOL TO BANKSY - STREET AND POP ICONS” brings a fresh, modern perspective into the castle’s ancient walls, showing how art has evolved from an elite language into a shared cultural expression. From the 1960s to today, the works on display reflect a profound shift in how reality is interpreted and communicated.
A journey through icons and artistic revolution
The exhibition route features masterpieces by Andy Warhol and Keith Haring, key figures of the Pop Art movement, alongside the provocative and contemporary works of Banksy, Blek le Rat and Invader.
Also included are artists who have redefined visual and urban language, such as Shepard Fairey, Mr. Brainwash, Add Fuel, Mr. Savethewall and the Miaz Brothers. Together, they demonstrate how art can emerge both in galleries and on the streets while maintaining a strong social impact.
An experience of contrasts
Visiting this exhibition means stepping into a fascinating contrast between past and present: the timeless atmosphere of a historic castle meets the vibrant energy of spray paint and graphic imagery. It’s a unique opportunity to see how everyday visuals can become powerful, universal symbols.
