#The Meeting between Warhol and Pasolini at the 1975 “Ladies and Gentlemen” Exhibition
Emanuele Stochino
#Documento (.pdf)    
#Abstract
This abstract sets out to underline the importance of the 1975 Andy Warhol Ladies and Gentlemen exhibition held at the Palazzzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara, Italy and the writings of Pier Paolo Pasolini concerning the exhibition theme: transvestitism. Warhol was invited by Luciano Anselmino, the Italian gallery owner, to create a series of portraits of lesser-known people rather than of Factory stars. This Ladies and Gentlemen series was highly successful and put a hitherto neglected theme under the spotlight. Although the first exhibition provoked scandal, with some variants, it has seen many re-editions since its theme is ever more common in Western society. In his writings regarding the 1975 exhibition, Pasolini portrayed an American society of equivalence; a society characterized by mass consumerism. He depicted a society in which everybody consumed the same things, attended the same cultural events and frequented the same areas; no-one was distinctive, everyone was equivalent. Pasolini interpreted the ten portraits as isocephalic figures, replicated until their identity was cancelled. No portrait bore the name of its subject and each subject merged with the next to create one single individual: an Archetype. In his writings, Pasolini foresaw a mass society founded upon hedonism which would annul every typology of cultural and sexual difference based on the belief that the only accepted difference between individuals is linked to the amount one consumes. This leads to the assumption that: “political choices of conscience no longer correspond to existential choices” (Pasolini, 2019: 73).
