ANDY WARHOL

Andy Warhol - SK/USA (1928-1987). American painter, graphic artist, filmmaker and leading figure of the pop art movement. Like his contemporaries Roy Lichtenstein and Mel Ramos, Warhol reacted to the mass media culture of the 1960s. His screen prints of cultural and consumer icons (Marilyn Monroe, Mickey Mouse, Campbell soup…) became icons in their own right and made him one of the most famous artists of his generation. In his studio “The Factory” movie stars, models and artists met, who themselves became “food” for his graphics and films. His works are represented in the most important galleries around the world.
