Andy Warhol was an American artist, film director, and producer who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as Pop Art. Born in Pittsburgh to Carpatho-Rusyn immigrant parents, Warhol studied commercial art before moving to New York, where he transformed the boundary between fine art and commercial culture.

His studio, The Factory, became a legendary hub of creativity, celebrity, and experimentation. From his silkscreened Marilyns and Campbell’s Soup Cans to his films and his own publication, Interview magazine, Warhol interrogated fame, consumerism, and reproduction with a cool, deadpan brilliance that remains as provocative today as ever.
