The legendary pop artist Andy Warhol was an American visual artist and filmmaker. Warhol was a master whose influence on art is still felt today. Almost everyone has seen Andy’s work on soup cans, Marilyn, Elvis and Mao.

From the beginning of the 1960s, he was one of the biggest names in art. Some of his works have become among the most famous of all art pieces. For example, Marilyn Monroe’s portrait series is known all around the world. Andy Warhol’s works sell for tens of millions of dollars when auctioned.

From 1963, Warhol also made underground films. In the 1970s, he painted portraits of celebrities using a Polaroid camera.

The Factory studio founded by Warhol in New York was a meeting and party place for artists, celebrities and special people. Among others, Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, Lou Reed, Mick Jagger and David Bowie spent time in the huge studio.
