Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was a leading figure in the Pop Art movement, known for his exploration of consumer culture and celebrity through his iconic artworks. Using techniques like silk screening, he transformed everyday objects and images—such as Campbell's Soup cans and portraits of Marilyn Monroe—into art, blurring the lines between high art and commercialism. Warhol's work often reflected themes of mass production and media saturation, making him a pivotal voice in contemporary art. His studio, The Factory, became a cultural hub for artists, musicians, and celebrities, further solidifying his legacy as a cultural icon.
