Andy Warhol (/ˈwɔrhɒl/; born Andrew Warhola; August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987) was an American artist who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art (nonfiction).
His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture, and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s.
After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became a renowned and sometimes controversial artist.
Warhol's art used many types of media, including hand drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, silk screening, sculpture, film, and music.
He was also a pioneer in computer-generated art using Amiga computers that were introduced in 1984, two years before his death.
He coined the widely used expression fifteen minutes of fame.
In the News

Pop art wishes Andy were here to keep making money.
