Andy Warhol, the pioneering American artist, is widely regarded as the central figure of the Pop Art movement and one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Rising to prominence in the 1960s, Warhol transformed everyday imagery, from Campbell’s soup cans to portraits of Marilyn Monroe, into bold, iconic works that blurred the boundaries between high art and popular culture. His practice spanned painting, printmaking, film, and photography, reflecting his fascination with celebrity, consumerism, and mass media. Warhol’s studio, The Factory, became a hub of avant-garde creativity and cultural exchange, cementing his status as both artist and cultural icon. Today, Warhol’s works are represented in every major modern art museum worldwide and continue to command strong results on the market, making him one of the most collected and enduringly relevant artists of the contemporary era.
