Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol, born Andrew Warhola in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1928, moved to New York in 1950 where he started his career as a commercial artist. Appropriating images from popular culture, Warhol created many paintings that remain icons of 20th-century art, such as the Campbell’s Soup Cans, Disasters and Marilyns. Many of his films have become underground classics. At the start of the 1970s, Warhol began publishing Interview magazine. Firmly established as a major artist and international celebrity, Warhol exhibited his work extensively in museums and galleries around the world. He died in 1987.
