Short Bio
Andy Warhol, born Andrew Warhola on August 6, 1928, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and passing on February 22, 1987, in New York City, was a leading figure in the Pop Art movement.
His art, which spanned painting, film, and sculpture, turned mundane commercial goods and celebrity culture into high art. Warhol's mass-produced artworks, like his iconic Campbell's Soup Cans and portraits of Marilyn Monroe, challenged traditional notions of creativity and authorship, making him one of the 20th century's most influential artists.
