Andy Warhol (b. 1928 – d. 1987)
Andy Warhol was a leading figure in American pop art, known for blending art with celebrity culture and consumerism. His iconic works—like Campbell’s Soup Cans and Marilyn Diptych—used techniques such as painting, silk-screening, and film. Starting as a commercial illustrator, Warhol rose to fame with The Factory, his New York studio that became a cultural hotspot. He created the concept of “Warhol superstars” and popularized the phrase “15 minutes of fame.” Both celebrated and controversial, Warhol redefined the boundaries of art in the 20th century.
He died in New York City in 1987 at the age of 58.
