Andy Warhol

American 1928-1987 

Andy Warhol is considered to be one of the most influential American artists of the 20th century and part of the Western art movement called Pop Art. He was also a filmmaker, photographer, painter, commercial illustrator, music producer, writer and even fashion model. Throughout his career, Warhol developed new approaches to artmaking and so challenged the boundaries of art. A pioneer of multimedia and an early reality TV star, he foreshadowed the age of social media by sharing his daily life. Beyond art, he ventured into advertising, branding, film, and even wildlife conservation. Despite his fame, Warhol never forgot his working-class Pittsburgh roots. His pop art style disrupted the elitism of 1960s New York, celebrating the ordinary.
