Andy Warhol (1928–1987)
Master of replication – an artist who created himself as a brand.

Style: Pop art. Icons of mass culture – soup cans, Marilyn, Elvis, Mao – treated like sacred images. Repetition as the language of our times.
Technique: Screen printing – allowed him to produce series of images like a factory. He named his studio The Factory.
Trivia: Extremely religious in private life, but hid it behind a cool media persona.
For today: Warhol is the patron of digital culture, social media, and celebrity culture. His art says: “Anyone can be an artist – though not everyone will become an icon.”

Biography

Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was a seminal American pop artist and filmmaker who explored themes of celebrity, consumerism, and mass media using innovative silkscreen printing. Warhol became a leading figure of 20th-century pop art with works like Campbell's Soup Cans and Marilyn Diptych and fostered a multimedia artistic environment at his studio, The Factory.

Early Life and Education

Born Andrew Warhola Jr. in Pittsburgh to Rusyn immigrant parents, Warhol suffered childhood illnesses that led him to develop an early interest in art and photography. He studied commercial art at Carnegie Institute of Technology, graduating in 1949.

Commercial Art to Pop Art Pioneer

Initially a successful commercial illustrator, Warhol transitioned to fine art in the late 1950s and emerged as a pop art pioneer by the early 1960s. He embraced silkscreen techniques to explore repeated images of consumer goods and celebrities.

The Factory and Multimedia Career

Warhol's New York studio, The Factory, became a cultural hub for artists, musicians, and celebrities. He directed experimental films, produced the band The Velvet Underground, and created multimedia events that impacted art and pop culture.

Later Work and Legacy

Following an assassination attempt in 1968, Warhol focused on expanding his brand through published works, portrait commissions, and collaborations with younger artists. He also explored themes of religion late in life. Warhol remains one of the most influential figures in contemporary art.
