The exhibit 'Queens by Andy Warhol' at Paleis Het Loo features Warhol's portrayal of female monarchs, reflecting on their legacies and the evolving nature of royalty.
The unique aspect of this exhibit lies in its context: all the queens are no longer reigning, changing the significance of their representations in Warhol's work.
Warhol’s Reigning Queens series, conceived in the early 1980s, involved complex dynamics of consent, particularly regarding Ntombi Tfwala, whose involvement was controversial.
The director of Paleis Het Loo explained that the exhibition was inspired by significant personal transitions of the queens involved, with none currently serving as reigning monarchs.
