Warhol, Pollock and other American spaces
Madrid, Spain
Thyssen-Bornemisza
21 October 2025 to 25 January 2026
Madrid’s Thyssen Museum has one of Europe’s greatest collections of 19th and 20th century European painting, and this autumn it will bring together the work of these two key names in American art. Warhol's fascination with Jackson Pollock is well known, and this exhibition is semi-autobiographical, focusing on two artists who worked on repetition and abstraction. However, it also looks at figuratiuve work and reveals that Pollock was not always an “abstract master”, nor was Warhol an artist solely occupied with popular culture.
