Andy Warhol, the influential American artist, led the pop art movement. His diverse works explored celebrity culture through various media.
Raised in Pittsburgh, he started as a commercial illustrator, gaining recognition for controversial art. His studio, The Factory, attracted intellectuals and celebrities. Warhol’s superstars and “15 minutes of fame” expression left a mark.
He managed The Velvet Underground and founded Interview magazine. As a gay man, he lived openly before the liberation movement.
Warhol survived a shooting but later died from cardiac arrhythmia in 1987.
His legacy lives on through retrospective exhibitions, books, and documentaries. The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh showcases his extensive collection.
Warhol’s creations are highly collectible, with paintings selling for millions. He’s a bellwether of the art market.
