Modern & Postwar Artists
Andy Warhol
1928 - 1987
Obsessed with celebrity, consumer culture, and mechanical (re)production, Pop artist Andy Warhol created some of the most iconic images of the 20th century.
Warhol drew widely from popular culture and everyday subject matter, creating works like his 32 Campbell's Soup Cans, Brillo pad box sculptures, and portraits of Marilyn Monroe, using the medium of silk-screen printmaking to achieve his characteristic hard edges and flat areas of color.
