Andy Warhol @Smithsonian
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, artist and cultural provocateur Andy Warhol reveled in challenging traditional conceptions of fine art. Following his success in the 1950s as a graphic artist specializing in advertising and illustration, he shifted his focus to painting and printmaking in the 1960s. He created many of Pop Art’s most iconic works by appropriating imagery from consumer and popular culture—from soup cans to film stills. Intrigued by the concept of mechanized art production, he dubbed his New York studio the “Factory” and immersed himself in projects that reflected his fascination with celebrity.
