Notorious for blurring pop culture and fine art, Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was a leading figure in the Pop Art movement. Born Andrew Warhola in Pittsburgh, he found success as a commercial illustrator before turning to silkscreen paintings of everyday objects like Campbell's Soup cans. His New York studio, The Factory, became a hub for artists, celebrities, and the avant-garde. Warhol explored various media, including film and photography, and his iconic works continue to define Pop Art.
