Saint Laurent Rive Droite is presenting the exhibition “Banal Objects” in Paris until July 15, 2026. It shows a selection of photographs by Andy Warhol curated by Anthony Vaccarello.
The “Banal Objects” series was created at the end of the 1970s. It shows photographs of everyday objects that Warhol transformed through his artistic vision. By highlighting these ordinary objects, he gives them symbolic meaning. At the same time, he questions traditional ideas about what can be considered art.
The famous Campbell’s soup cans that he painted in the 1960s are a perfect example of this approach. Although they were created before the series, they show how a mass-produced product can become a remarkable work of art.
The use of unedited Polaroid photographs enhances the feeling of authenticity and immediacy. With this approach, Warhol invites viewers to reflect on the aesthetic and cultural value of ordinary objects in modern society.
All works exhibited in Paris are for sale. The traveling exhibition will then be shown at other Saint Laurent Rive Droite locations. Saint Laurent Rive Droite is a curatorial platform operated by Kering, the French group to which the brand belongs.
