Andy Warhol
was an American artist who was the leading figure in the visual art movement
known as pop art. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, he studied commercial
art and quickly developed a reputation for his work. He moved to New
York, where he opened The Factory, which became a gathering place for everyone
from artists to street people to celebrities.
Warhol was a prolific artist and printmaker, and he moved from one
subject matter to the next as he studied and documented the evolution of
popular culture. His most famous works,
of course, are those of the Campbell’s Soup cans, Marilyn Monroe, China’s
Chairman Mao, the celebrities who frequented the Factory and were his friends
and sponsors, and of his cats. But his
work did not stop with those themes. He
produced art linked to major (and not-so-major) events in the news, cartoon
characters, cars, flowers, and numerous other subjects. These original works of art and the prints
made of them are featured in many museums and private collections, most notably
in the dedicated museum build in his honor in Pittsburgh, PA.
